Welcome..I heard in the past, that with some modifictions, you can drop in a GM 350Cuin and go from there..I maybe wrong on the model..but that seems to be the thing to do to some older Jags..

Good luck

 

Welcome to the forums

I think chancing the engine itself will not satisfy you considerin you might need a tranny as well as PCM to enhance your performance and satisfaction . I would stick to Jaguar engine ( 4.0 liter 6 cylinder X300 engine )

 

Probably a tensioner broke and caused it to do that.
