My neighbor owns an XJ6 with a Chevy 307 in it. I asked him why
he didn't put a 350 in it. He said that a 350 was too powerful
for diff mounts to handle - that it would rip them up.

He also said that the Jag was no more reliable than it was 
before the engine swap due to the Lucas wiring (actually he
blamed the Lucas relays).

One more thing - his is also for sale, and he said he is having
trouble selling it - V8 powered Jags are unpopular.
