I have been there and made the mistakes... What ECU are you planning on using? If you are going aftermarket you need to choose carefully, I'm on my second system, the first couldn't run it. You can also make some simple mods to the intake system to get free BHP & torque increases.

Ditch the secondaries, on comparative rolling roads it made more bhp and torque without them throughout the rev range.
The ST220 manifolds aren't a direct fit as standard, but i think the st200 will go straight on.
I'm running Emerald, but i'm sure the guys on here will be able to help with the Megasquirt if you need it.

hi looks good
thay are a good old engine i helped my mate build one a year or so back to fit in his juno tr SS3 race car
we used the 3.0 v6 from the jag but near on the same motor , ported heads big cams and big pistons difrent rods runing 6 jenvey throtttle bodies it
runs 400hp so you should have fun in a seven.
any way he is selling the MBE ecu that is on the car at the mo and the wiring loome for it as it nolonger meets the requires for the juno as we have
just fitted flat shifter and air powered padles shift gear change and the MBE dose not have the facility with in its mapping ability if you are
intrested in it let me no and ill give him your number
thats an awful lot of engine !!
very

Looks like an interesting build.
Absolutely love the wheels - what are they?
One observation - your track rod arms appear to be at a rther odd angle in the photos. Maybe the angle of the camera or maybe the rack isn't in it's final position?
bob - 16/7/09 at 08:40 AMI noticed the same re track rod arms, maybe the track rod ends are just dropped in the top of the hub instead of from underneath. I did the same while my car was in early rolling road stages.
Terrapin_racing - 16/7/09 at 12:18 PMQuestions for Major & grazzledazzle:
I have a Jaguar V6 3.0L (ex auto s-type) I have also aquired a Getrag 221 gearbox.
I need manual flywheel/clutch - are there any other choices than s-type jaguar - other ford models? Is there a spacer plate between engine & gbox?
All advice on ECU , manifolds , ignition & fueling very welcome
cheers

The wheels are 15X7 OZ rallye from approx 1988, refurbed. You can still buy the 14inch and the 16 inch new. I did not find the 15inch new, so I went for used without the decals as you can see.
The rods, like Bob mentioned, easy fix.

Between the gearbox and the engine, you have a alu dustplate, not a spacer. An expensive one +/- 170 euro new. No idea what they cost in the UK. The 3.0l uses a dual mass flywheel + matching clutch. I am using the mondeo one, Not sure if it will work.

Close. It it is the G20 GTC prototype / homologation car. Same body shell as the junior. Sort of.
I'm running a Cosworth Borg Warner T5 but it required a 12mm adapter plate and belhousing mods. It does mate with standard flywheel and clutch though.
If i were doing it again i would use the off the shelf morgan bellhousing.
ECU wise if you are ditching the secondaries things are easy. I tried running sequential injection with a cam sensor but for some reason it just cannot handle it. Lots of head scratching. Running in alpha using crank sensor and tps on Emerald, mapped by Dave Walker. Goes like a stabbed rat.

I did not know the 3.0L had secondaries, i thought the had the oval ports?
At the moment I go for EDIS 6 + megasquirt, but that may change.
