Thanks for the link. xjeffs made me aware of xjslovers so sooner or later, I will get in the habit of visiting these two sites.

My car is still going through upgrades and detail work.  I should see it in May.

Love the 6.0L option.  My 5.3L and TH350 leak all over the place.  So much so I'm thinking I might go LS2 T56 when the Cougar's done.  Don't know if the wife will buy into another big ticket purchase though.

I think drivenman sells the 'kits' for that.  Are you thinking about doing the work yourself or having it done?

Mine's got the later GM 4L80E with a 4th gear overdrive, seems to be ok.  The shop fixed one or two small fluid leaks I had but they weren't significant and weren't much to fix so I don't even remember what was leaking or done to fix it.
The car should be done soon I hope.  I'll post some pictures when it gets shipped back to my house hopefully in a few weeks.

I'd do it myself.  I couldn't handle the results of someone else's work because no one will love her like I will.

I found a guy who did the LS2 and T56 swap in his Gen I XJS, so it is well dospoogeented.

I really like the engine in yours.  Looks so much cleaner than mine.
