Jag 4.2SC?
Has anyone anywhere in the world swapped a Jag 4.2 Supercharged motor into an 86? My FA20 blew last summer and the car has become a great looking planter in my driveway now. I recently picked up an 06 Range Rover with this motor (and the ZF 6HP26 tranny) for $3500 which is considerably less than a used FA20 sells for and it got me thinking. These things are pretty easily available in pretty good shape and I could use a parts truck, sometimes you can find ones that run great but have other issues or rust and people just unload them. I saw one this morning with ~60k miles for $1k that a tree fell on and that's what spurred this idea.
In my 6k pound truck this drivetrain is fast as shit, I could only imagine what it would be like at half the weight. A simple pulley swap and tune and it puts out 490-500HP so that would mean other things like the rear end need to be beefier but after that I'm lost. Is this even possible? Thoughts? |

Anything is possible if you have a welder. The rear end will be fine.
