scotty Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Hi all , I am getting a V12 XJS to canibalise for spares and will have a spare engine afterwards . Any thoughts on the feasability of dropping it in a 7 ? I have seen one in an MGB which got me thinking . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
