Seller Submission: 1988 Jaguar XJ6 LT1 Swap
This next car comes as a seller submission from MK who writes: “I’m selling a low buck ‘cool’ car that might resonate with the DT crowd. It’s an 88 XJ6 that I swapped an LT1 into. I used a Jaguar Specialties mounting kit with an LT1/4l60 out of a 95 Impala SS. It’s a fun car, but I need to focus on my other 80’s project. No hard feelings if this isn’t the right fit for the site.” I would have hard feelings if I DIDN’T feature this car because it fits DT like a glove!! Find this 1988 Jaguar XJ6 LT1 Swap offered for $5000 in Detroit, MI via craigslist.

V8 swapped! Drivetrain out of a 1995 Impala SS. Freshened LT1 with high lift cam and 1.6 ratio roller tip rockers. Rebuilt 4L60 with C4 shift accumulator for firmer shifts. I also have the CATS LT1 tuning kit that comes with car and a few other extras. Fun car but it’s time to sell. Trying to focus on another ’80’s vehicle project. Runs and drives great, needs a few details sorted to complete the project.Price is 5000 OBO. Make me an offer. I would love to see this car go to a fellow enthusiast.

Looks great to me. Hopefully the owner posts what sort of details are left. That’s usually an ominous statement with an engine swap car.
Seller here. The details left are mounts for the ECU, fusebox, and coolant reservoir. Also the battery I bought is a little too tall and close to the hood. The car runs and drives great. I put there are a few details in there to try and be honest with potential buyers and help set expectations. As you can tell I’m not a great salesman.
Working A/C?
No AC. Someone had removed the AC compressor and swapped in an idler pulley before I bought the engine and trans.
Nice ride. The only problem with this car, is the existence of 1998 thru 2003 XJR’s that can be bought for the same $$$. Factory supercharged = more hp than this one
Price is OBO, I’m open to offers!
