The 'E' Type Forum

Thanks EDavid, You painted a wonderful picture for me. Smoothness in the shift is the sacrifice. For a weekend tooling around OTS that might be too much of a performance upgrade. Yes the engine is comming out for a total rebuilt and time to make the decisions. Wish I had one to test drive. You defin...

Light weight flywheel with a 5 speed gear box. I'm green with envy over ClassicJaguar.com's products. My only concern is how will replaceing the heavy Iron flywheel on my 4.2 with the light weight one will effect rev and torque. I run a 3.07 dif .

Center laced 6" rims with 205/70 SR 15s have enough offset to not cause clearance problems in the rear. Center laced wheels provide for better handling (wider track) The center laced rims are the way I'm going too. 6" 5", not shure yet. How would a spare fit in the trunk.

I had mine @ 140 mph on a long inner city down hill run and still had a 4th more pedal range till I hit the floor. Whe...

Three companies made these and supplied them as after market or given directly to Jag. Two in the US and one in UK. Wish ...
