I'm new to the vintage Jaguar world and was just wondering is it possible to swap out the borg warner model 8 to a Jag 4 speed? Also are there conversion kits for doing. By the way this is for 1968 XKE 2 + 2.


Thanks in advance.


Yes it is a straight bolt-on swap...if you don't mind removing the engine and bolting on a new flywheel, bellhousing,propellor shaft, etc. If you're going to go to the expense, check out the 5-speed t-5 conversions available. The first two are suppliers and the last two links offer lots of background and discussion.
