Mk2 Jaguar for the wife
I resently bought a 1962 MK2 in AL and started it for my wife.
The 383 stroker is in, the aluminum radiator is in and the new rear end is on site. I have started the new wiring, fuses and relays. I will post pics as soon as I resize a few Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/24/2014 09:10AM by blurooster. |

Re: Mk2 Jaguar for the wife
Looks really great.
I am also doing a V8 into a MK2. SBF I like the position of your engine. I slid my SBF very far back, which I guess is easier for me since I have a front distributor, and my front sump section of the oil pan limited me. Are you going to run headers or a stock exhaust manifold? What transmission? Is the original Jaguar rear end a problem spot? I plan on leaving mine, unless I blow it up!!!! I was thinking that with the thin tires I have on the car, I would most likely burn rubber before breaking something. Looking forward to seeing your progress! |

Re: Mk2 Jaguar for the wife
I replaced the rear end with a more road friendly gear, 3.42:1 with discs. The reason a went Chevy was the rear sump pan. Sanderson tight fit headers will be run, left side is all good, right side tight but do-able. 700r4 trans w/ 3000 stall.
