NEW PRICE...OBO...1997 Jag XK8 coupe, LS2 6.0 engine and trbuilt 460LE trans. Jaguar Specialties conversion kit. All instruments, lights etc work. Cold A/C, CD 6 changer in trunk (factory). California car with NO RUST! British Racing Green with perfect tan leather interior. Engine was not running when I bought the car so I paid to have a 6.0 LS installed. Everything on the engine is new (a/c compressor, throttle body, alternator, starter, LS2 intake, aftermarket LSA cam and lifters, bigger stall converter, GTO accessory brackets. New 19 inch tires on polished mag wheels. New battery! Shifter in original Jag location. Electric bucket seats. New radiator! I spent roughly two years having this car built! Save yourself the time and hassle. Reason for selling I'm 80 years old and it's too much car....I dropped the price because car needs paint work...the roof and trunk lid both have clear coat peeled away (rest of car is fine) from California sun. Car had 7 mufflers/catalytic converters from the factory, I had 5 of them removed...I think it sounds better! Be the hit of the car show with this LS powered beauty. About the only thing you could do to it is boost it. Just a mild upgrade, Nitrous or small turbo. could easily get you 800 HP. More than enough to blow factory mustangs/corvettes away and lose your license...lol. Hood clearance is tight otherwise I would have used a different intake. This engine, if taken care of, will give you 250 - 500.000 miles. Only thing to address would be shocks, brakes and etc. I disconnected the heater since it seldom gets cold in Florida. Would be easy 20 min job to reconnect it. I may take an interesting coupe car in trade. Basically this is a project in progress I'm in too bad a health to finish it! My loss is your gain!!
