The 'E' Type Forum

Hi all,
I'm working on the XJS engine I will use on my e type.
I would like to have feedbacks from others who have use the same solution on their car.
I've a lot of questions without answers.
Thank you all.

Hello Marek
Great if you have all the bit! I did have all of them also and I ve modify my xjs engine for my own etype.

Do someone has used the solution proposed here : http://rushtonengineering.co.uk/v12-eng ... to-e-type/ to use a latter engine coming from other V12 cars ?
It sounds a good other solution to use a v12 if you don't have one yourself or if you want to have an EFI engine in your E.

Is there something new to post pictures ?

You have to order mastic in barrels instead of the standard box. Negociate with your dealer

What has to be done and how on the speedometer with any modification of the diff ratio ?
Can it be a DIY solution ?

Hello, I?m facing a problem on all the gauges from my S3 dashboard. The faces have suffer from moisture and the decoration is starting to disappear because of blisters in the paint. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n515/MLBS3V12/Divers/20160609_141829%201_zpsr7so2zdm.jpg Of course there is the so...

Hi, not sure if it is the right reason. I will also use a getrag 265. It comes from a BMW E24. In other words it is a short tail one with an output flange. This output flange keeps the speedo drive pinion tighten with the nut and the first ball bearing close from the outer seal. If the nut is not ti...

I've bought a few bits including an XJ bell housing usable with a getrag 265 gearbox.
I don't know if it can be used on the XK 3.8 or 4.2l .
In other words, the xj engine is an XK base one or not ?
Does some on known ?

Martin, I can confirmed that the windscreen is a new on. It is a bit dirty because I've tried to place it on the car at least 3 times. I've also tried as the link on youtube shows.
