Mid life crisis time and have the perfect donor car, low mileage mechanically perfect 4.0 xj40 with 5 speed getrag, plus loads of xjs bits acquired over the years but cant find a C / D type replica kit that is set up to accept that layout. The exhaust is on the 'wrong ' side from the XK's and engine is tilted but surely not the end of the world? Think perhaps kit manufacturers are missing something here as the aj6 is bullet proof, has a very simple stand alone fuel injection system and is readily available for next to nothing!
I believe that one was made a few years back(Ron Lea) with a supercharged lump otherwise cant find any info, anybody help? Thanks
