Yep I done that Goto http://www.geocities.com/jagzmanv8/Jaguar_Monaco

I use an XKR engine with a dodge viper 6 speed manual box, Motec M800 ECU

Quite easy to do, mounting the engine and box was very simple, used parts of the original engine loom.

Cant remember what I did about the power steering pump.......it was 10+ years ago

Used the XJS mounts to fabricated engine mount bolted to the block in the original place, I still have those if you are interested!

There are a lot more options nowadays regarding the ECU but back then I was limited and the Motec was not cheap. I actually run my XK8 on an Emerald.

But if you want more info let me know.

Nice!

I was enjoying the website and then it just stopped. :-( Is there any more? Pictures of the finished car? What it's like to drive?

I started playing with the car.....changing the bodywork again and all sorts.....Got everything fitted up and working then ripped it all out again, sold the Motec and the engine and fitted the clutch, gearbox and pedal assembly into an XK8.

I still have the Monaco but now it is Aston Titanium Silver with the standard engine and box back in it.....Keep telling the wife I will sell it one day
