My name is Frenchy and it’s been 24 hours since I bought a Jaguar.

To be honest, I think the head gasket may have let go in mine so naturally I'm considering engine swaps. (V12 or supercharged 6)

There's an x308 xjr being parted in Lynchburg VA 

Have you done a leak down to ensure it's the head gasket?   Then try retorquing the head.   Twice on my race car the gasket leaked a little (13-1 compression)  both time I just re-torqued it after running a tap and die down the threads. 

Posting in another Jaaaaaaaaaaaag thread, nice work.

Nice cars, I love my '84 S3 with LS power. Interesting choice giving it to a youngster to drive to college. 

Stand by for the engine I put in the Red one.  

So how are these two rolling?

Yes, inquiring minds want to know!

Still hunting for a working fuel tank selector unit.  Really just waiting for fall college classes to start.  She can drive it with one working fuel tank.  
  The real problem she has is parking space.  
   Once that is figured out then I can start on my 1972.
