Gotta laugh - "The pile of Lucas Garbage" 555

Nice looking, smooth running engine for a project car, especially with a couple Holley's on top. 

 

E-Type Jag and Daimler had the V12/TH400 combo...

I knew a guy who had the same in a Vauxhall Cresta rod..????

That's a switch.   

 

Most classic Jag owners that I know swapped to a Chevy V8 because the Jag V12 was so unreliable.

Ditch the Prince of Darkness and ditch the unreliability.

Or were not used to having a complicated engine that needed care, bit like a Ferrari or even Aston engines

 

An easy get out to install an old basic tech engine, such as a Chevy engine.. ????

 

A little research, you will find that the V12 could provide 250-650 hp and up to 600ft/lbs, if you wanted it.....
