Chevy V8 Swapped: 1971 Jaguar XJ6

This is a Series 1 Jaguar XJ6, built from 1968 through 1973, which is the original and arguably prettiest version of Jaguar’s long-running XJ sedan. In stock form, the XJ6 used Jaguar’s XK inline-six and was known for its ride quality, quiet cabin, low roofline, and elegant proportions. This one has traded Coventry smoothness for small-block Chevy simplicity.When the original British drivetrain became expensive, tired, or annoying, somebody stuffed in a Chevrolet V8 because parts were cheap, torque was plentiful, and every mechanic knew what to do with it.
