Complete Ford 289 V8 performance engine and four-speed manual transmission conversion package, recently removed from a 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I roadster.
This is a substantially complete, previously installed and running drivetrain package, including the engine, transmission, bellhousing, Hurst shifter, headers, driveshaft, gauges and accessories.
The engine was running before removal, with approximately six miles driven during previous ownership. **Video of the engine running in the Jaguar is available.**
The drivetrain was removed solely to return the Jaguar to its original six-cylinder configuration, not because of any known mechanical problem.
