"Experiencing a no-start condition" What's the worst that could happen?

Talk me out of it...

If it's an engine problem and not a fuel or ignition problem, you probably don't want to know how much it'll cost to rebuild that engine...

I may be mistaken, but it looks like it is already wearing GM steelies...

My friend just bought a XJS v12 with a no-start condition. Someone has replaced the fuel lines on the tank/pump but routed them wrong so the fuel pump was just circulating the fuel in the surge tank and not pumping any to the engine.

Once he fixed that and got it running there were some other issues...

This should be engraved on all of Jaguar v12 power-train engineering headstones.

LS swap

This is where I was headed, but if it's something somewhat simple a V12 would be even better. Sounds like that's almost never the case...

It could be a $75 coil pack, but in my personal experience, that turned into a $15k Fiat.....

The worst that could happen is you have to swap a v8 in. So terrible.

i would never try to talk someone out of buying a car...

i will, however, just leave this here and move along:

Needs the more realistic version.

Crank and no start = Buy it. Build log.

No crank no start = run.

No start on the grid? Remember those naked in the gym dreams?

You could probably make your money back as an internet part out, and have a V12 coffee table if worst comes to worst.
