XJ6 + 305

[88v8]

Only just beginning to focus on Jags with V8 transplants.
They seem surprisingly common.
Here's one on Craigslist, soooo cheap

And yet they are rarely mentioned on here???

SBC swaps into XJ6's were pretty popular for a long time; i'm sure there are a bunch out there.  There were (maybe still are even) kits available to help with the conversion.  Don't see them much here probably because the board caters more to sports cars but the Jag sedans are still cool.

I particularly like the 1960s MkII, and presumably the 1950s MkI although I haven't seen one yet.

Rob:
Check out John's Cars a bit north of you in Dallas.  He has parts and kits for Jag, TR7 and Datzun Zcar.

When one starts looking, which I now am, there are quite a few.
Here's a MkII + V6

although why anyone would want to ride around on those tyres....

Still looking

And another one, this time a 350/400

A driver rather than a show queen, but at $7k... might as well give it away.
Unbelievable.
Go on, treat yourself for Xmas.

And here

is an XJS with 350+700R4.
Although why it would need a new fuel tank in the boot, is a mystery.

Not really so mysterious if you've owned one. The stock dual tank system is complex and prone to failure. It's not unusual to see the two tanks plumbed to a common fuel pump, meaning the dual fillers are something of a bother, and the tanks themselves rust at the bottom. So, a single large capacity tank is a reasonable solution.
