I was just casually scrolling through craigslist when this popped up

1976 jaguar xjs coupe for sale by owner - Grants Pass, OR - craigslist

1976 Jaguar XJS Hot Rod Street Legal NEW 440 Chrysler Engine and Transmission 500 HP Plus Aluminum Heads, Andersen Headers with Electric Cut Outs, Dual Quad, Rollers 727 Tork Flight Transmission,...

I know people putting 350sbcs in these was kinda common but i never seen one with a 440 and 727 swap.
It's also painted plumcrazy FC7.

Links go away. Pictures on FBBO for posterity...

Engine swap was how you fixed the oil leaks Jag's are well known for.

I’ll take the drive line and scrap the car...

 

[RemCharger]

I've worked on the rear-end and brakes on one of those,, takes the fun right out of it

The fuel injection set ups were a disaster!

For years my wife dreamed I'd lose interest in the GTX, and swap it for an XJS, which she's always loved the look of. After seeing this one, I know for sure it's never going to happen.

I think the color is a mistake, the engine swap is enough mopar.

I think with different rims it would look better.

A guy up here in London, Ontario has one with a 400 Dodge in it, with turbo. It is quite a sleeper.

Sort of the poor man's Jensen Interceptor

No thanks. A good drivetrain in a **** car.

Anybody who's had experience with these junkers back in the day knows very well.

It would be more interesting to put a hellcat driveline in a '79 Rolls Royce.

Not nearly as easy on the eyes as an E-Type . . .

...yeah but nothing fixed that Pommy rust underneath....ever....

Have always kinda liked the body style but not enough to ever own one of those POS's

I nearly bought an XJR Jaguar to bring back to NZ many years ago. But the deal smelled a bit fishy....so I didn't bother. I also checked out a Ferrari Testarossa....but it was a touch higher than my budget would allow.

A friend of mine sold his 1969 Hemi 4-speed Charger 500 to buy a Ferrai Testarossa. One of the first car shows he went to, after staring at the prancing stallion in the grill, a spectator asked him what year his Mustang was.
