Will the Jag V6 give you any powergains over the V8?

Do you have a V8 exhaust you want to sell?

sorry no V8 suff at all totaly clean sheet well do have a holly blue top fuel pump and regulator never used still in the box no good to me now as going to use Throttle Bodys
power from the 3,0 duratec is 240 bhp and 180 tq standed so with not to much work/dosh i should hope to see 280/300 ish its the same engine as in the Juno my mate runs and that makes 400+

Whats te Jaguar box like for this, is it the same as the uprated version of the Type 9 that Ford used in the 2.9 Scorpios ? Does the engine run PATS like on the 4 pot Duratec lump ?

You didnt fancy the jag/ford ecu and single Tb/plenum set-up then ?

Would be really nice and smooth with lots of go in a 7
