Greg in France, read your description of removal of engine from a XJS and I would think you would have a problem removing the engine with that description, you would be lifting the whole front of the car you have not advised to remove the connection of the engine to the frame via the engine mounts.

It is tru-ish, but not of the XJS. It allegedly is true of the XJ40, the XJ6 replacement, which was first thought of under the BL regime in the late '70s. The V8 in question was the very popular in the UK originally BUICK 3.5 litre all aluminium V8 used at that time in a number of Rover saloon cars, and most famously in the Range Rover.
But as they got the V12 into the XJ40 shell, and into the first XJ saloon, I really do not know if any of this is true! I would not have thought the V8 is any wider than the V12, but maybe it is?

A. V12 is 60 degrees which makes it narrower and the spark plugs are on top.

The XJ40 bodyshell was extensively redesigned for MY 1993 to accommodate the V12, as the Series III V12 saloon was discontinued in November 1992. Prior to that it was impossible to fit the V12 into an XJ40.
