How? First to reach the sea bed or would squash one if dropped from a height (of over 2 feet)????
what is it ?
Jaguar 3.6 AJ6 engine to replace the 2.9 from the donor. Cost me all of £71 Its gonna have a strip down and rebuild at the weekend.
From wiki:
The 3.6 was the first AJ6 engine, debuting in 1983 on the XJS. It had DOHC 4-valve heads with a 91 mm bore and 92 mm stroke. Power was 165 kW (221 hp)
with 325 N m (240 ft·lbf of torque. Power was reduced to 201 hp (150 kW) for versions having catalytic exhaust system. Early versions of the 3.6L AJ6
as used in the 1984 - 1987 XJS cars had a conventional distributor type of ignition system with electronics within the distributor body. This early
AJ6 ignition system is nearly identical to the system used on the XK engine in the Series III XJ6 cars. The Lucas fuel injection system on the 3.6L
AJ6 engines in these early XJS cars sensed engine load using a Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor just like the V12 cars from the same era. Later 3.6L
AJ6 engines as used in the 1986-1989 XJ40 cars had a crank sensor type of ignition system with a bare distributor that only carried the spinning
ignition rotor inside the distributor cap. The fuel injection system used on the later 3.6L AJ6 engines used a hot wire Mass Air Flow sensor to
determine engine load.

I'm sure it will sound wonderful, and if your car is under the 1000kg will have over 200bhp per ton, which is still more than enough UMPH!
Good on you, and good bargain hunting.
What gearbox will you mate it to, and will it need a much different transmtsson tunnel design?

That's huuuuuge.
Get it weighed in for scrap, you'll get at least 10x what you paid for it.
