XJ6L engine is crap

with one comment

The engine in the XJ6L is crap and needs to be completely rebuilt as well as the carburetors. Going to salvage the engine from the XJ6C and see if that is a better option. It has been rebuilt previously and had 10 or less miles on it before it was parked. The carbs will have to be rebuilt there as well.

XJ6C going to the Scrap Heap

without comments

Working on removing all of the sale-able parts but the rest of the car is headed to the metal scrapper. Carried this car for too long with no progress and it has to go. Too rusted to restore except for a die hard fanatic with deep pockets. You can buy a cherry socal version for 8K so what’s the point?
