Re: 39 truck

Anyway it all comes to what the owner is able to do with either money or his skills and tallant.
The jags with the V12 2 door weighs just over 4000 lbs. the sedan weighs 4250 lbs. The fully equipped v12 engine itsself weighs 680 lbs---more than an all iron BB chevy.

Yea --this suspension can handle the weight.

after all the xj mounting brackets are cut/and stuff grinded down it looks like this,........ I spent $135 on this-missing one caliper.
This one had some rudely improvised jag-ro-let engine mounts, when these conversions are done they use the jag twin ohc 6 springs--closest to the 575lb small bloch chevy

the big brown truck dropped off $125 of new balljoints and bushings. so having them installed -another $30 bucks. and my 38 chevy patently waits on some wodden blocks.
