XJ6 Series 1 or 2 4.2 engine wanted

Postby jagmanuk » Mon Aug 22, 2011 8:49 pm

Hi guys, My engine has gone kaput and it would seem to be more economical to buy a running replacement rather than strip, refurbish and rebuild the existing one. Any information appreciated. Mike B

Very strange! The link worked ok when I checked it after posting. Curious indeed.

The link even says XJ6. Tried to find it again but gawn!!

I wonder what this unit might be like?

If you go for it, I would buy the carbs and linkages from you! ;-)

Just spotted at least six complete 4.2 engines at Black Country Jags might be worth a call
