I doff my cap to you sir , what a labour of love to take on! I thought I had taken on the father of all projects with my own XJS but you put me in the shade all day long! Engine sounds great,I wish you luck.
Manual swapped with power upgrades. I'm pretty sure there's an acient proverb somewhere that says "there is no greater aim in life than a well modded XJS". Subbed.
Own a 1995 convertible 4.0 XJS, imported some 10 years ago from Arizona / Phoenix, with about 65k miles and fortunately with no rust at all. Admire your knowledge and perseverance to restore this vintage lady and subscribed. The XJS modell was even created by William Lyons himself with assistance of a wooden image, standing before his country house. Best regards from the Netherlands.
You have taken on quite a project their check these out for some thought proviking insights which might help you along the way on youtube living with a classic Adam in Sweden and TJM the Jagman down under good luck with your XJS best wishes Andy Allen
Keep going. They are amazing and very under valued cars. My XJ-S is a HE Preface lift V12 DHC 1990. Drove it through 10 European Countries in 7 days 2000 miles and 5 Alpine passes - no issues and 21.5MPH!!
Great dream to have.. I'm a licensed automotive technician of over 45 years, seen all fixed all. Jaguars have always lead the way innovation,, irs, inboard brakes, 4 wheel disc, V-12 etc.. unfortunately a cluster F_ _ K for management and arrogance.. we have an 86 xjs, for over 23 years.. sat for 5 now. Until 2 years ago my 16 yr old son wanted to bring it back to life.. we gave it for his birthday, and started restoring it.. now it's become a restomod.. engine bay, completely cleaned up, no wiring ,, all polished aluminum engine, and everything else chromed, port and polished intakes, all holes filled, custom snorkels, shaved door handles, custom interior, blasted & powdered coated entire suspension , all new high pressure plastic fuel injected lines, special brake lines, single adjustable fuel regulator. Relocated battery , fuel pump and removed the useless fuel catch can in the trunk.. 20 spoke rims, 18x9 on 265/45-18. The car is absolutely smooth, no signals in front,, no handles, even the fuel door lip is shaved flat. Long story short, my son and I have spent 2 years building and having fun and dreams.. These are incredible and beautiful cars.. great handling with very little mods or add ons.. don't stop dreaming,, plus this car will make you a bloody genius when your done..
They were 15s off of an El Camino that were just temporarily used to transport the car. Too wide though and the offset was too far out, the tires would rub like hell.
Extremely brave of you to pick one so seemingly past it's EOL. I daily drive a '89 XJS with a Tremec Magnum 6-Speed. The work tends to never end with these cars and if you're a masochist it'll work out just fine! As long as you basically replace everything with a modern equivalent you'll be set in the reliability department. I'm actually jealous because when I bought mine it was practically in mint condition with super low miles, albeit significantly behind in proper maintenance. If I didn't have a complete car it would've been much easier to overhaul everything because the constant fear of "ruining" the car was always on the back of my mind. In your case, there's not much more that could possibly go wrong with it because you're most definitely the best thing this car has seen in years and I wish you the absolute best of luck with such a crazy and ambitious project!! You probably already know a vast majority about this so this might not pertain to you! There's a lot of amazing forums and guides available for this car. I'd honestly start with Kirby Palm's Jaguar XJ-S Help Book. The Book has saved me, and just about everyone else some major headaches and potentially saved lives. A lot of people get terrified of this car because of how complex it appears, and it's actually quite simple. In the end it's still just air, fuel, and spark. Trace back the problem to it's roots and if you're extremely lucky another mechanic didn't already attempt to fix it while also fucking shit up and making it worse which tends to be the case more often than not. Reliability and peace of mind comes from rewiring and simplifying the multiple harnesses, I went with a MaxxECU PRO with CNP and redesigned the fuel rail to be two separate sends and returns for each bank (quite overkill, didn't cost much more to do and not only does it tidy up and simplify the engine bay, but it allows me to quench the thirst of the might V12), engine cooling is absolutely crucial, these engines are not only known for fires but also dropping valve seats. Porting and valve jobs in general aren't really practical for this engine for how little the performance gain is and cam shafts could allow you to lose mid-range torque and with a V12 that might negatively impact your everyday cruising experience. The road to 500bhp is possible without such modifications anyway. Times have changed a bit since I last checked so if you can get a good deal at a machine shop (and some fun money to spend) it may in fact be worth going all out with modifying the heads; the little power improvements do certainly add up in the end, albeit not as drastic as other platforms. The next project with this car for me personally is probably going to be ITBs or go all out with AJ6 dual cam heads for the ultimate waste of cash. The brakes and suspension are needing attention and I reallllly should do something but I'm an idiot and neglect the important safety shit and skip directly to the fun stuff. I'm also thinking of doing an electronic steering rack, or just any other rack would be better, the four XJS cars I've driven all felt like they have sloppy steering either by design for touring or just old age?? Best of luck with the ol' "shitbox", I will most certainly be watching every video with utmost anticipation!
Thanks man! I've definitely gone through Kirby's pdf multiple times haha. I get what you mean with chasing for power, and I agree; that would be experimentation way long after this car is manual swapped and more sorted, when I probably have another spare engine or two to play with.
Glad you're saving one. I think these are some of the most beautiful cars ever made and like you, I like it more than the E Type. These things are dissapearing and I give it five years or so before they really start to shoot up in value because they've already begun to creep up a bit. Oh and like you I also want a C4 and I'm trying to make a decision on one of these or a C4.
Been there, done that with three 1980's V12 XJS's, but you have more skill. No matter how much money and time I put into them, there is always some issue that I need to fix. But if you are brave and up to the challenge, I recommend that you take the motor out and have it completely rebuilt. Then buy all new GM parts that came with the car such as the transmission, starter, water pump, bearings, etc. Either do it now, or you will be forced to do it later, but it is much, much harder and expensive once the motor is in. But under no circumstances, do not put a V8 motor in the car, as tempting as it may be. But once you are done restoring the old Jag, it is like dating a supermodel.
I totally get it.The XJS was my dream car.When I made some money I should have bought one.I ended up buying a Aston DB9.Love your passion and V12's.SUBSCRIBED.
Awesome work. Really enjoyed your dedication to this car. You brought one back from the brink. I have an XJS too. They are never-ending work, but respect to you for starting from a harder place! You will have so much satisfaction as it comes together.

Yes you'll need to keep on top of the servicing/ancillaries etc but the basic engine is bullet proof so if its running now providing you look after it, oil, filters etc the usual, it'll give you good service and when its on the road trust me you'll love it. You probably already know about it but check out what Harry did to his V12 in his XJ12 Coupe in Harry's Garage th-cam.com/video/N2zg8fjwtIA/w-d-xo.html. ok, that was big bucks but it shows the potential in that very unstressed engine.

There is a kit to replace the Lucas injection with some lovely carbs. See the Car Wizard video for this V12 engine (in a swapped US vehicle).
This is a mistake the Car Wizard do o ditch the injection. I have slightly newer Lucas injection in my Jaguar XJ40 and it is reliable.
I have had 3 xjs all mid 80s 2 with
the V12s and one with a big block Chevy
Converted to stick it was a beast
Like refined Corvette I made custom
Trailing arm to put the power down
It would lift that big heavy nose up
In air no problem but my true admiration is
the 5.3 v 12 it is so awesome when it
Runs right stay on it , with these cars it not
How fast you make them it’s how they
Make you feel it’s a British Ferrari
Now at electrical part to save time
Complexity take out all the factory wiring
Except the engine management
Put in an aftermarket street rod fuse
Box and wiring to control all the lights
Because the early cars had the worst
Lucas electricals just saying.
One good is the early engine
Management crane makes
a distributor module for the
E type to eliminate the
Opes trigger, the biggest
Issue with the v12 is temperature
Control you have put an aluminum
Radiator with twin electric fans
a strong alternator to run them
If it over heats it game over
Keep going you really have the
Right approach to the whole
Thing once master the xjs
All other cars like childs play
