I'm about to undertake pulling the engine and trans from my '86 as part of a major refresh. Your videos continue to be a huge help! Keep it going man, your project is amazing and it's really helped me get motivated!

[@JulianGriggs]

Awesome to hear! Thanks for the support!

[@NotoriousEgg89]

Same here!! My 85 needs new gaskets everywhere.. might aswell pull it and clean it all up now..

[@blairmarchand7572]

@@NotoriousEgg89 pulling the engine and trans turns out to not be a particularly difficult affair; two friends came to help and it got done over beers with a minimum of struggle. That said, I had already removed everything but the crank pulley and the cam covers first so it was easier that way. 1 hoist, aransmission jack, and some heavy duty straps and it was just a matter of patience.

When you back on here butty ? Wanna see how the xjs is going ?

[@xjs1983]

Are the front valances with the indicators bolted or spot welded on?

[@sirhoward5982]

This was 10 months ago hows it going now? We need updates

[@JulianGriggs]

I know… I need to get another video out! Video will come soon. Thanks for watching.

According to the federal HESCHLAVVO law, it is already forbidden in Switzerland to drive combustion engines on mountain passes from 2025. In France, the SCHLABOUBVE regulates that fossil vehicles that produce fine dust are prohibited in all cities from 2025. The BABVVO in Germany will exhaust gas pollution from 2027 and that is what will happen in entire EU also bann of all tires and brakes because of fine dust!!!

Hi Julian I’ve just uploaded video of my x pipe exhaust . I used tt extractor front pipes which was a mistake as makes a lot of rasping and throaty so changing that but here’s the video as it is now 😊

[@JulianGriggs]

Awesome! I’m sure the video doesn’t do it justice… I’m still in the middle of my 5.5L V12 build. Parts are taking forever to arrive! I’m glad you’re enjoying your car!

[@haeloglobal5725]

@@JulianGriggs wonder what’s causing the delay on your parts ? Yeah I love the sound when I drive I can get some real high pitch sound under load . I keep going for a drive in it 😬 . Got some new wheels for it . Think a manual conversion might be a good idea but I don’t want a heavy clutch so I’ll look at best options . Maybe a tremec

[@techwiz142]

what happened to the content? i was loving it mate!

[@JulianGriggs]

More videos to come. I’ve changed a few plans for the car.

[@techwiz142]

@@JulianGriggs you still rebuilding the V12 to put in the XJS?

[@JulianGriggs]

@@techwiz142 Yup, currently building the original and the “New” block. The original engine is staying mostly stock. Trying to get the car back to running condition…

[@TJRacerHandley]

Hey Mate, Have you tried Rob Beere racing in the UK for conrods. They do alot of performance parts for V12 Jaguars.

[@JulianGriggs]

I have! I don’t think they carry V12 connecting rods tho unfortunately…

[@dantheman1998]

did you remove the sleeves or did you leave them in and got it bored?

[@JulianGriggs]

Sleeves needed to be removed.

[@dantheman1998]

@@JulianGriggs Man i would of love to have seen that. I never seen the liners removed!

[@channingreynolds3233]

Nice video I like it

[@JulianGriggs]

Thanks man!!

[@haeloglobal5725]

Hi Julian quick question about your manifold and Exhaust changes . Did the car run ok on its standard ecu ?

[@JulianGriggs]

I did not do any changes to my ECU. Car ran fine. Any updates on your car? I want to hear it run!

Can we some how get together on face book and conversation I'm in pa USA also about to begin a restore on one of these I am picking up in november

[@TheFishingMusician]

Hey Julian. I also have an XJ-S (1979 model) as a project car and I am wanting to remove the smog (air) pump from the car and run it without it. Any advice on where I could find the information to do this?

[@JulianGriggs]

Here’s a decent write up on it foreverjaguar.com/f/smog-blogdelete When I did it, my car had a separate pulley and belt, so the removal was pretty easy. Tapping the plugs was pretty easy.

Seems there is a lot of space in there, some modern bi turbo v8 should fit nicely

[@JulianGriggs]

Gotta keep the V12…
