Here is the secret formula for me.

Nice

It sure floats my boat, Blake. Of course, here we're talking about REAL Jags. That old XK engine, in any of its forms, is a thing of beauty, isn't it?

Seen better down here. Similar set up, only fuel injection in the manifold and six air intake/throttle bodies. Also had tuned extractors and it was all fitted to an E-Type that went like a scalded cat :-)

Graham,

I do have something similar in my garage :-)

Right you are Graham! Nothing is more pleasing than having a pretty car

Well, I guess there is something more pleasing...its knowing its goes home to your garage!

Cheers, Blake

Ron I can invision fuel injection; it too must be a sight to behold! Cheers!

Blake, the power of that motor is awesome :-) Six 2" inlets, good outlets, wish I had it!

This post has been really interesting to read - (Lovers of the S/X type take some note - How many people will open your bonnet and say what a lovely engine you have)

Nice engine, shame its missing 6 cylinders!!!

What on earth are you going on about? We are talking about "Jaguar" XK DOHC inline six, not Ford, sorry, "Jaguar" V6's .....

Ron

No, you missed the point. Only 12 cylinders will do

I hate to differ with you Stu, but the v12 is nothing more than a boulevard cruiser engine.

It really heavy, too top heavy, has lousy cylinder heads, and has many fuel injection issues.

A hot 6 would eat its lunch around a track. But if straight roads are your thing then the 12 is cool.

Blake

That ain't necessarily so........

Wow. OK so 5.5 litres is needed to hold off 3.4 and less. I stand corrected.
