You can call me after 8 PM. I may not answer directly because of not recognizing your number. If you leave a voice mail I will call you right back. You can also text and give me info and I’ll call you back. Your choice.

It would be a late call tonight so would after 8pm tomorrow work? Also, I will text the # I will be calling from before I call and just leave a message if you don’t answer.
Thanks!
Did you try to call ?
Stephen
I haven’t yet. Sorry, but I had more on my plate than I thought. Would today work and if so what time?
Thanks,
Jep
Hi Jep,
I hope you are progressing well with your Jag. I also have one(87) and am facing a dilemma. To change to SBC or keep the V12. I am now 77 and still haven’t decided what to do with it. So now I’m thinking of selling it. I have other interests now, so rather than tear it apart, since it is running excellent, I’m letting it go. I think $5K is what I’ll have to get for it. I am following your thread if its still active and I’m interested in following
Sincerely, Elwyn Davenport, Howell, Michigan
Elwyn, That is a very nice 87! It looks Winchester Blue like mine. Just curious, if it is running well why are/were you considering a conversion? I would not even be in this dilemma if my engine wouldn’t cost more to repair than replace. I have finally decided that if I go conversion then I will go with John’s Cars conversion kit and go with the Chevy LT1 but I have been in touch will a fellow on this forum that has a good V-12 engine with 80,000 miles that I am now thinking about. I will let you know. I am going to get this project started soon. If I hadn’t had so much work done on mine I would probably just fly up there with a one way ticket and check yours out.
Take Care,
Jep
Hi Jep,
My Jag is jet black. I bought my Jag with the idea that I was going to swap to a SBC right away, hence my dilemma, it ran too good with the V12. So I just drive it a couple of times a year that way. The years kept slipping away and here I sit. I love just looking at it in the garage. The side pipes are straight through and give off a real cool sound.
Again, good luck with yours
Elwyn
Cragar S/S. Thank you Bob
Arg! I stand corrected. 
Hey Elwyn,
Mine looks black when it gets wet or in certain light. Either way they both look good. I will let you know what I do and when I get it done. I will send pics as I progress.
Thanks,
Jep
So glad you posted! I’m about to order a set of those exact pipes! Those are 60 inches, right?
I don’t suppose that you have a movie with sound do you?
Jaguarr,
That is a picture of ellitrublu’s 1987 XJS not mine. It looks like you sent this message to me.
Jep
If there is no crossover, presumably each side would sound like a 6-cyl. That’s not a bad thing, I guess.
