Don't get me wrong, I love American V8s, but not in an E type (although I wouldn't turn one down either). He said it was bored out 4mm and had a stock crank/stroke; I have to think it has an aggressive cam profile and maybe bigger valves. Weber carbs and headers don't seem like they are enough to turn this kitty into such a fire breather.

Crazy as it may sound, that Jaguar V12 was continually developed for the next 20 years. One version grew to 7.0litres, was race-prepped by TWR, dropped into the XJR12 and then raced in the Group C championship. It went on to win Le Mans in 1990. In that form the engine was making 730 bhp and 579 lb.ft. The car could do 229 mph. One of the most famous race cars of all time. kzitem.info/news/bejne/k6dps6SqiGWDZG0

Why do you need to destroy two antique cars to make what is essentially a short wheel base V12. Get a V12 and cut out the required amount out of the tub = reattach and put on series 1 doors - this way only one classic is destroyed. I am not complaining as this makes my original V12 even rarer and more valuable - in the years to come the car in this vid will be worth no where near the original and people will be converting this back to original.

Very impressive. My only criticism would be the lack of any explanation of how they got 500bhp from an engine that made 300bhp standard. From what I know of V12 Jaguar engine a 200bhp power increase is rather unlikely from 400cc capacity increase plus headers and six Weber set up.
@julianneale6128
6 жыл бұрын
Paul Almond I personally can tell you a little. The Jag V12 was originally designed as a racing engine for the 24 hour Le Mans. Only then did they modify it for road use. It was always ment to be fuel injected but Jaguar's budget was getting high and so they replaced it with 4 side draft carburettors, which didn't help. The overhead cam shafts were for high reving but the carb setup was for low end torque so it was a bit of a mismatch... They increased the capacity from 5.0L to 5.3L also for more torque. The ignition system had issues with developing a good spark at higher rpm. So the first production engines were only 276 bhp. The compression ratio was steadily increased and by (in Britain) 1980 the power was up to 300 bhp. For the most part the compression ratio was kept low for American emission laws. When have you ever heard a Jag V12 over 3000 rpm, people just used the torque... Having said all of that, this was a race derived V12 that was easily able to unleash lots of power. By replacing the pistols for higher compression ones is a very good start (I hear people modify and use Suburu pistons). All engines are simply just air pumps and this engine was asphyxiated, and so by letting it breath properly that alone will instantly go from 276 bhp to (very roughly) 320 bhp. Unless you want to go racing the cams are happy up to around 6500 rpm so the ignition needs to be attended to to get a lot of good sparks... Increasing the capacity by using the crank from the 6.0L engine can also help too, the later racing engines were stretched all the way from 5.3L to 7.4L! I hope this to a small degree will help you understand the potential of this engine...

Nice car, I don't like the fact that 2 e type jags are being used to make 1 car, E TYPE JAG Always and will be my favourite car,. I am from England 🇬🇧, back in the seventies you would see quite a few E types wrapped around the telephone poles because they had drum brakes all round, then they started putting discs on the front, I had a side business in early eighties through to 1990, By day I was a Roofer, by night I would buy any Jag engines mostly from the scrap yards around Norfolk UK, Straight six were very cheap almost give them to you, The V12 A different story I started paying between £250 to £750 per V12 JAG engine, Most were non running, Some would display them in pubs and clubs or in their homes, Trouble begun when TOP GEAR UK 🇬🇧 programme, started off showing a V8 and V12 stripped out engine block as coffee tables with glass top , I'd already done that with Formula one tyres and of course JAG ENGINES, BUT after Top Gear started showing V8 and V12 engine blocks as coffee tables, The engine prices went silly prices, £10.000 ten thousand pounds, Now you won't find any available, Interestingly in the early eighties the carburetors were worth more then the actual engine Same as Twin 40 weber carburetors, 2nd hand non working pair , £1000 . So now i stick to 2 stroke mopeds and scooters but sadly the prices have sky rocket over last 5 years here in UK, Great videos keep them coming 👏, and kudos to the car and engine builders.

$300K for a handbuilt fully metallic E-Type Jaguar..........worth every cent and more. I'm not a Jag guy, I bet you have a special spot for this one, it has me walking on three legs.

Wow - that is gorgeous and FAST. I know the 'purists" will disagree, but I have always preferred the looks of the Series III cars, with the larger grill and the flairs (although the taillights are suspect). Hmmm - my retirement fund is not doing well at all - I could afford one of these and it would probably appreciate more...

300k, I call total and utter BS. E-types are the price of a happy meal. XJS? Worth less than my socks. Paintwork comes straight from an Ironlak can, and the leather looks like it came from the excess of Michael Jacksons last plastic surgery stint. If this thing cost 50-75 total, I' be surprise, but 300k .. your dreaming!
