575HP Jaguar XJ8L With LS3 Engine Swap – Video

 

We shouldn’t even have to say this, you should already know: Karl’s Jaguar is one of the coolest project vehicles we have ever seen. Take a pretty but mostly unloved long-wheelbase Jaguar sedan, rip out the engine aand drivetrain, and shove a beastly Ligenfelter-prepped LS3 making 488 horsepower to the wheels through a GATED manual T56 transmission, make the interior look awesome, and add a few subtle-yet-awesome touches to the body, and man, we do have a winner. Too bad about the rain on the day of this review, but the Jag makes it feel like a sunny day!
