Hi Steve,
Welcome back.
Well in your absence, there have been many changes…
One of which, is the transfer of lumps list,
and website to a new admin. …Me…

Along with the upgrade of the lumps site,
(formerly hosted by Mike stanford),
now incorporated into the main J-L site,
http://www.jag-lovers.org/lumps

a number of new members, and a slew of photos
Check out the web for the new ( to you) look,
and addition of many new items,
http://www.jag-lovers.org/lumps/faqs_howto.htm
including a red lumped saloon,
http://www.jag-lovers.org/snaps/snap_view.php3?id=975377261
in the photos album.

I’m sure that you will be pleased with the new site

Lumps Web Admin> Hello Cat Folks,

I have been absent off this list for almost 2 years, I previously had a XJ-S
lump with a 350 and a 200 R4, and it worked pretty well.
When I got it the 350 was already in and running badly, overheating,
electrical gremlins, I brought it back to good health
and ran it for a couple of years, and sadly had to sell it.

This list was a GREAT source of help to my while I has my S’
Folks like Chip Lamb, Mark Chiampi, Kirby Palm, Andrew Weinberg, all helped
during my ownership of that car.

I signed on again recently as I have had a pang in my stomach to do or find
another project lump.
Bought a Toyota Tundra in November in anticipation of said project, and also
so the Lump wouldn’t have to be my DD right off the bat.
(Note if you are looking for a full size pickup the Tundra is one hell of a
truck)

Now to why I’m here…

I remember Years** ago like 1993’ seeing a Green ( Not BRG more like a sea
foam green) 420G for sale in Los Gatos California,
With the for sale sign saying a Ford 302, with a C4 was in it. I was very
intrigued, but horribly poor at the time.
Never did get to pop the hood, er bonnet- but I am very curious.
Has anyone else on lumps seen a Mark X or a 420G Lumped? --Are there any
lumped (Big) saloons on this list?
The idea of a Big cat with a V8 !!! Too Cool.

I still am in the Bay Area and would be interested if anyone has seen this
cat or another like it.

So this gets me to some questions, like I wonder if the Ford was easier from
the sumps location?

Let me know what you think, thanks in advance.

Hey Charlie and fellow cats!

  • Thanks for the starting info; I am glad to be back with the free thinkers.

There was an 83’ Lotus Esprit with a SHO V6 and a 915 Porsche transaxle, now
that makes the hands writhe with possibility.
Not to mention a cobra kit car with a SHO.

I wonder if a similar Idea would fit in �rni’s regular 420? Not the
transaxle of course, but there are plenty of hot v6’s for the small saloons
not to mention some of the nice compact V8’s of recent times. Example:
Toyota 1UZFE out of the Lexus 400.

But for the continental lister the domestic Ford or Chevy (Holden?) V8 is
probably the easiest choice and fits with longevity plans and ease of parts
procurement.

I remember some swapping article that stated that the Ford 289/302 was about
19" wide and the 350 was 23".

More later have to go …
