What specifically needs to be modified? Just the mounts? I just can’t get it lower because it’s ramming into the brake booster. I have cut off the small notched tab and it still wasn’t playing nice.
Sorry to not reply after so long, been distracted by hospital bills and the car overheating. Luckily it was just the Thermostat’s time to die and nothing more serious. I’ll give these a go. Thanks a ton again.
I lowered my car with D2 RS series coilovers and inevitable I am getting a hollow clunk at low speeds now. Pretty sure it is one of the control arms hitting the sway bar or sway bar end link. Are there any adjustable end links that can help me out here or do I need new front sway bar set up? If...
I don’t know if I want to just swap it over - yet. But if it is simply the most effective and efficient way of getting over 400 hp with a Jag motor then I reckon I could get behind it. Thanks for the info, you have been incredibly helpful.
Still open to more info though if anyone has any!
So the Vantage stroke is 91 mm compared to the 4.2 Jaguar 90.3 mm stroke. Was reading a forum where some dude was rebuilding his 4.3 Vantage motor and turns out 4.2 Jaguar rods are almost identical to the Aston ones. Question is: Does the Aston main bearings for the crank fit the 4.0 block or...
I bought the Lincoln LS because I thought the Jag motor was neat and different. I do also very much like sound as well. For these reasons I’d like to keep the engine in the Jaguar family of engines as much as possible. Also the LS swapped LS is a very complicated undertaking. Those who do it are...
If the head is casted different, I’d presume the cams are useless to me as well then. I was aware of the Range Rover 4.4 that was made to replace the lame BMW 4.4 was another sibling to the Jag line but I had not looked into it yet. They also made supercharged versions of them right that were...
Totally forgot about the Aston transmissions which are surprisingly cheap. Is it because they are straight garbage or would they be a reasonable candidate to replace the LS transmission?
So stealing parts from Jags seems to be the go-to for modifying the LS due to the limited aftermarket. But has anyone tried nicking stuff from the 4.7 in the Aston Martin V8 Vantage? Is it based off the first or second gen AJV8s? If based on the first gen, could you nick the Vantage’s Crank and...
I know right away the first gen AJ-V8’s differ significantly. Was reading a Jaguar forum where a guy decided to buy a Lincoln LS motor for his XK8 (he blew something deep in his 4.0 XK8 block), tried using his XK8 heads with the Lincoln LS block, and the heads were slightly different and could...
Ah brilliant, this brings up another question I have. It's talking about a Diagnostic Tool and I assume that's basically a code reader with more diagnostic sort of functions? Any recommendations one what Diagnostic Tool I should invest in?
So you reckon it's just coincidence that only the right side of the car doesn't power lock/unlock? Is there anyway I can troubleshoot it to make sure that the latches are bad and nothing else before I get the parts? Most of the other electronic components for the car work perfectly except for...
Sorry for the confusion. I do mean the power locks. Only the Driver's side front door unlocks on the first press, which is no problem. On the second press though, only the Driver's side rear door unlocks. Neither door on the passenger side unlocks.
Sorry for making the Lock Assembly bit sound...
Hey guys! I'm new here and new to forums in general. I just got my 2005 Lincoln LS V8 two days ago with 101k miles and I'm currently trying to work out some minor quirks it has. Right now I'm quite stumped by my key-less entry. The Passenger side doors do not react to the key-fob when I attempt...
