I have a '97 Jaguar XJ6 (x300) that I acquired three years ago for the princely sum of $200 usd. I fixed a lot of minor issues with the car and it's now my weekend/ occasional driver. I just completed a complete suspension overhaul and the car drives so nice that I decided to keep it forever. I've been thinking about an engine swap as the car REALLY needs more power. The stock 4L straight six is very difficult to mod as no upgrades were ever made for it. I like to keep my swaps somewhat relatable, so I started looking at the Barra. This motor makes perfect sense, so I decided to go for it. I'm starting from ground zero so I probably going to be a bit of a pain here. Thanks all in advance...
