I need to restore 1983 engine.

I would post a wanted ad on a Jaguar forum. There has to be some owners with projects that need completion.

These two seem active -- http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/ -- http://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/

I, in Oceanside CA, have a XJ6 1983 to sell, Just needs a gasket for the transmit ion which was rebuilt in 1999 and a battery.. Engine has been replaned and valve job. Has what you need... It's been sitting for 2 or 3 years, will sell for price that is right for us both, email Jessica at j.pierose@gmail.com
