yes, a good running 6L jag V12 , is easily worth $1000.bucks.
best i seen was $1300.
not quite sure if bell pattern is exactally same, but most important would be the alignment dowels are the same as GM,distance from Crank center line to dowel, i think they are so any mods to bolts should be easy to do.

I had the 6.0 block re-drilled so the BP is the same a the 5.3. Cost a hundred bucks from the guy I bought the engine from.
BTW I payed 4K for my 6.0L
There are many advantages to the 6L the heads flow better the longer stroke is good for more torque and with a 93mm bore 6.5L is easy.
If you do buy it make sure you get everything. The differences in ancillaries are enough that they are not easily interchangeable - for example you can not bolt the 5.3 injector rail to the 6L and the harmonic balancer is different.

when i moved from Florida to Texas, i junked/scrapped 3 T400 trans, 2 T 350 trans, best of all, 3 complete Jag V12 engines , one carby type, 2 FI types, plus lots of jad bits ,ECUs, injector drivers,ETC.
couple Chevy V8s, along with GM 700R4 trans.
i got $25. each engine, $10 each trans, around $25-30. each chevy.
remember junk is just junk/scrap, OH yes, unless some one needs it, most stuff i had for over 10yrs.
back when you said (Jaguar V12) NOBODY would touch such junk, now it seems they are making a come back,Go figure that one out.
