[Vwdiesel] Diesel engine for a Jag

[slatersfb at aol.com]

A buddy where I once worked installed Chevy 350 gas motors in XJ6 Jags, automatic transmission included.
350 GM diesel is basically the same engine.

Subject: [Vwdiesel] Diesel engine for a Jag


What would you folks recommend as a possible engine swap for a Jaguar sedan?

I have an '88 Jaguar XJ6 (normally about 175 hp) and would like to use it as a
daily driver with good power and a lot better mileage. I will be using veggie
oil as a partial replacement for dino diesel. The Jag with engine weighs about
3500 lb.

I would like an engine with at least as much power as the original 3.6 L
straight 6, and would like it to be common enough that parts would be
available and not priced out of range.

Thanks for any and all help.

Cheers
George
