The cars where the stock Jag engine has been swapped out are called a "lump" and are also on the Jag-Lovers forum.
Personally there is nothing wrong with the Jag engine and I will not ever have a lump. I have owned one in the past and it just did not have the personality that I wanted.
Now, there is one modification to the Jag that I will readily endorse and that is swapping the damm Lucas Alternator out with an American version. I used a Chrysler version but others use a GM version. Either will work and work 100 times better than the Lucas alternator. It ended loads of electrical issues.
If you get ready to pull the trigger, pls get back with us and we can give some more assistance. These are really special cars and like a 911 you want to find one that is in good shape.
