    Description on eBay by seller: Chevrolet LT-1 Corvette engine was purchased, back in 1974, and treated to a complete blueprint, then expertly installed while leaving the Jag's square tube front subframe intact for that "factory" look. A Series 2 hood was fitted to take advantage of its much larger air intake for improved cooling.
    According to a 3-page spec sheet that accompanies the car, internal engine mods include:
    Bore cylinder case .060
    Polish crank
    Pin fit pistons and rods
    Balance complete engine assembly
    Flash grind block
    Relieve oil holes
    Install TRW 11:1 pistons
    TRW Clevite 77 rod & main bearings
    CLOYES double roller timing chain
    BERGMAN blueprinted Z28 oil pump and screen
    GENERAL KINETICS camshaft, 486 int./exh. lift, 300 duration GENERAL KINETICS lfters Z28 pushrods
    Blueprinted cylinder heads, surfaced .020
    3-angle valve grind
    Ports matched and unshrouded
    Z28 Valve springs

    Ebay item 4/8/08
    cu.in. LT-1 powerhouse was dyno-tested at 416 h.p.
    Relocated metal bulkhead behind the seats 5 inches to the rear! To further improve the situation, Hector Larios retooled a special pair of Porsche seats. Following this surgery, your average 6'2" American Big & Tall customer is now able to easily fit inside the Jag without having to hold his breath!
    Dash top is covered with genuine suede. A hand-hammered alloy cover hides the close ratio MUNCIE M-22 4-speed trannny. The equally impressive dash displays factory SMITHS gauges and toggle switches on unpainted aluminum and copper. Tough MOTOLITA leather steering wheel looks just right, too.
    huge racing fuel cell that surely is big enough for endurance events. How does 25 gallons sound?
    Fortunately, this 46 year-old Jaguar always resided in California, escaping the dreaded demon rust. It certainly helps that the car spent its life in a nice garage and--according to its former owner--has only covered 39,645 actual miles.

    The upper frame rails do indeed seem cut..as the SBC motor is too wide and the exhaust routes exactly where the top rails are...or were.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
