Hi, I am a newbie on this forum, first post !
I have just bought a 1977 jaguar Coupe ( same as series 2 but two door) with no engine or gearbox , and I have a 1996 Lexus LS400 complete car which has failed its MOT test, so I was hoping to do an engine and trans swop into the Jag ,could anyone here tell me any mechanical problems that I may encounter, it seems that at the very least I may need a different sump (the rear sumps are very rare here in the Uk I fear) or is there anyone on here who has done this swop already ? I am an electronics / electrical engineer so hopefully will be Ok on that side of things,
