Rust free 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 OTS convertible roadsterMild custom with 427 Short Block Chevrolet crate engine and T10 4 speed manual.The body and paint are in good condition with some imperfections.Robbins soft top was installed in 2004 and is in good overall condition with exception to one noticeable nick in it. Interior and lower console need refurbishment work.This roadster had a 350 Chev in it when purchased by the previous owner and the original engine and transmission were not available. The previous owner spent significant time, money, and effort completing a 427 SBC transplant. This crate engine comes complete with Dart block, custom crank, rods and pistons, CNC port matched edelbrock intake and aluminium heads, and custom 1 3/4" headers. The previous owner stated that no cutting welding or drilling was done in the process ? I can?t be sure so I?ll let the pictures do the talking. Brand new clutch hydraulic actuator installed.More recently an inspection was completed with request to provide a detailed list of items to address, and the following items were listed:The direction I was planning on was in Jaguar purist fashion to fit the period correct series 1 V12 and Borg Warner auto which can be sourced cost effectively from an early XJ12 or alternatively a donor S3 E-type 2+2, and funded partially by selling existing engine and transmission. As the story goes, with family commitments time is the hardest thing to come by. The decision is to move on prior to getting in too deep and the next owner can decide which direction to take this Jaguar.
