V12 T another one

[Gerry]

For the guys out there that like V12 jag powered Ts this one was in Custom car in 1979 ( originated from of Paul). Same mag that has a pic of the Fad in this month.
Enjoy and sorry about the quality of the pic but you get the idea.

OK Gerry, you got me interested in Jag rear ends, so I now have one.

Now I have to start looking for a Jag V12?

What do I look for?

Were they imported to the US?

I just found a couple of V12 engines on eBay. One is within a hundred miles of me. Unfortunately, I can't afford it now. Lately it seems, if turkey were selling for fifteen cents a pound, I couldn't buy the rear end out of a humming bird.

Stay with the V8. Jag V12s are expensive to build and maintain. Cost of a decent induction could build a T. Dont want to scuttle your desires but I would NOT go for one. I have seen a couple of them and IMHO they are too big for a T. Did some visuals years ago and could never make a straight 6 or V12 look right in a Bucket. Too much length (not something I am accused of often) between the firewall and the Rad. They are also Bitches to tune if you run carbs.
Up to you, buddy, but not something I would do. Now a rotary engine in a T is a kinda challenge... dont you think

Gerry,

Points taken. I can see buying such an engine is just the beginning..... I get these hot flashes, you see.

OK, I'm moving on to a rotary.... doesn't take much to sway me. huh?

I've been a fan of rotary engines since my wife had a RX-7.

I'm getting a bit off topic here, so I'll study the engines a little more.
