Body: All metal work is done including new floorpans. This is a rust free car. Very nice paint job with only a few small flaws. Custom reworked bonnet (hood), the wings (fenders) were welded to the center section and the chrome strips were omitted. The bonnet center section was raised to allow the Ford 302 crate motor room and is open facing rearward like cowl induction. Koolmat lines the underside of the bonnet to protect the paint from heat. The front of the bonnet has a modified mouth opening and the headlamp area was reworked to omit the chrome eyebrow trim, also the front bumpers were removed. Door chrome has also been removed. Hotrod style turn signal & brake lights are installed front & rear.

Mechanical: Top of the list here is the Ford 302 Crate Engine topped with a Holley 4-barrel carb. Fitted to the V8 is a rebuilt Ford C6 automatic transmission so even your wife & kids can drive this car! New wiring and a new fuse panel behind the glovebox door, easy access! The 302 is fitted with headers and a custom stainless steel big bore exhaust system, sounds as good as it looks too! Mallory Ignition. Optima battery with power cut-off switch. Heavy duty power steering rack & pinion. Cross flow aluminum radiator with high powered electric cooling fan, she runs nice and cool! Multi groove accesory belt with March style pully setup. Chrome alternator. These are just a few of the upgrades! Everything is done on this car including new brakes, suspension, tires, wheels, rear suspension overhaul including new fulcrum bearings & seals.

Drivability: The car runs out flawlessly. No vibrations at all speeds. Very strong runner and extreamly fast as you would expect. Starts easily on the first revolution even when cold!

The only fault we could find on this car is the passenger door opens with some difficulty. We may be able to fix that if you so choose.

To wrap this up the car is the nicest Custom E-Type we've ever had the pleasure to drive and work on. Hope you're the lucky bidder to win this fine jewel!

How Jaguar optimized the Ingenium gas engine for the F-Type

Fri, Apr 21 2017

At the 2017 New York Auto Show, Jaguar showed off the new entry-level F-Type, packing a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, gasoline-fueled inline-four that produces 296 horsepower, which is built in-house in the UK. It's the debut of this branch of the Ingenium engine series, and it's also the top of the Ingenium gas range; most JLR vehicles will offer a less powerful 247-hp version. We caught up with Jaguar's engineers to figure out exactly how this high-output Ingenium engine differs, and what Jaguar had to do to fit it in the F-Type's engine bay. While all Ingenium 2.0-liter gas fours share major architecture – the aluminum block and heads, as well as the bore and stroke – there are some internal differences. The most important are the low-compression pistons, which allow for more boost without detonation. The new compression ratio is 9.5:1, compared to the 10.5:1 ratio in the 247-hp spec engines. To make the most out of more boost, you need new plumbing and a way to get more fuel into the combustion chamber. So Jaguar fitted a larger twin-scroll turbocharger that's unique to this application. It features low-friction ceramic ball bearings – Jaguar says this improves transient response. There are also new fuel injectors and a fuel pump to accommodate the increased demand for gas in the high-output engine. On the back end, there's a unique exhaust system with active flaps to give it a louder bark when called for. Of course, some new hardware and more boost means the various electronic systems that control the engine needed changes. For one, Jaguar's changed the cam timing and valve lift mapping, as well as the ignition timing. The throttle mapping and transmission calibration have also been optimized for the new engine.

As far as the driver's concerned, the biggest change from the 247-hp engine to the 296-hp one – other than increased scoot – will be where the power peak is. The 296-hp engine makes peak power at a higher point in the rev range, which should reward drivers who generously prod the throttle and hold gears in manual mode. Remember, F-Types equipped with this engine will only be available with an automatic transmission. You should also remember that it's an excellent gearbox overall, with rapid, smooth shift characteristics, if the other 8-speed Jaguars are anything to go by.

Jaguar XF S Sportbrake vs. Volvo V90 R-Design: A sporty wagon comparison

Thu, Apr 26 2018

We had both a XF Sportbrake S and a V90 T6 AWD R-Design come through the office recently, and since they're really close competitors – both fairly large wagons, both luxury vehicles, both have sporting pretenses, and both feature all-wheel-drive. And in the case of our test cars, they're equipped very similarly, but at divergent price points. Is the Jaguar worth the premium? Let's take a closer look. The Jaguar is only available in the top-level S trim, which brings many features, as well as all-wheel-drive and a 380-horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V6. The final price listed for our Jaguar was a heady $84,815, up from a base price of $71,445. That's thanks to a bunch of options: the $360 black trim package, the $565 metallic paint, the $1,020 20-inch wheels, the $3,495 driver assistance package, $3,265 technology package, $1,805 comfort and convenience package, and $2,860 premium interior package. View 22 Photos The Volvo is available in a variety of configurations. In fact, you can have a V90 R-Design for as little as $50,945, but you'll be making do with the front-wheel-drive T5 model that has just a 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cyinder. To match the Jaguar's feature set and to nearly match its performance, you need to go with the T6 with all-wheel-drive. In addition to powering all four wheels, it also adds the 316-horsepower twin-charged four-cylinder. The engine and drivetrain add about $6,000 to the T5's price tag. The rest of our V90's price increase was made up by a lot of options, including a Convenience Package for $1,900 that came with heated washer nozzles, a surround view camera, grocery bag holder, HomeLink, a compass, and automatic parallel parking. Other options included the upholstered instrument panel and sun shade for $1,150, metallic paint for $595, heads-up display for $900, built-in child seat for $500, carbon fiber trim for $800, Bowers and Wilkens sound system for $3,200, heated steering wheel for $300, rear air suspension for $1,200, 20-inch wheels with summer tires for $300, and the destination charge. All told, it cost $68,290, which is close to the base price of the Jaguar, but a whole lot less than the Jag's as-tested price, making the Volvo a great value. Interior and Technology But value isn't the only reason to buy a car, especially a luxury car. You want it to feel luxurious.
