Yes seems a bit thin in pic but made of 3mm stainless
It will bolted by 3x10mm on stringers & those 4x10 on the block  each sides
& 2 more mounts on the bell with 3x10mm on the bell & 3x10mm on the stringer  each sides
We are talking 26 x 10mm to hold the thing !!
Stock XKR mounts are very light aluminium with 1x10mm bolt on the silent block
Stock glastron are 3mm steel badly shaped for the cast 350kg Ford compares to the alu 200kg Jag
Doesn't afraid me that much
And since it is solid mounted I'd rather see a rifted mount than a rifted block ?

Hi I've been thinking how to built the motor mounts & i end up With a wierd shovel pie
 

This is going ok for a reconversion job

& since it will be a jag boat
Baaa it needs jag seats as well

Out of a XJ6 1978 , same year ! , no mistake

Or just a lil on the back seats , head rest off & some better arrangement , this won't be plug & play

Did a bit of make up



Blakson all over

Thanks Flusher

Yes as you've teached me , I will keep 5mm of play
Unfortunatly when I've first installed the engine to determine the bell adapter lenght , I didn't noticed that the Ujoint adapter was not sat properly tight on the flywheel , I had to mill the midle so the crank protrude into it
Now the adapter is too long but I can mill it -10mm on the bell side

Yes concentric Ujoint/ pump shaft , this would be an issue I guess
i've drawn the adapter using the center hole in the bell as a base , assuming it was the center of the crank / gearbox
Looks like I'm not far ,  I can rotate the engine by hand (no sparkplugs !) seems very smooth from damper to impeller , even put a bit of starter on so this lived for the first time ever !! Electricaly ok ...
I will set the engine mounts so the bell adapter sit well flat on the pump

Solid motor mounts Ok , well this is bolted on a wood stringer so there is the vibes absorbtion

Other thing is I wanted to dismantle the end bowl of the pump to check the bearing & seals
Ex owner told me the pump was rebuilt , impeler looks new , but as It is accessible right now , a bit of look won't hurt
I´ve unbolt all the screws all around but how do you pull out the bowl , it is so hard to move !

Thanks again

In case I don't end up mechanically ok , At least I can help people

Looks ok but the spacer is too thick , Ujoint needs to come further inside pump shaft like 10mm


Respecting a 5mm minimum play as I always knew on my own myself   

But I won't save anything with my surgery it needs to go back to Dr Miller himself

Headers are going tight but ok

Thanks BBC     still a long way to the top if i want the r&r

Hey Wassup

the bell adapter just got back from the miller , it fits nikel chrome as we say

  all is pointed , this fits not bad , to wide I think but there is room

 

starter & generator are very tight

 It fits ok , ports are matching better than stock iron cast

 

 then the serious problemo is coming how do I start the engine ?
 Stock ECU is a strong job to make it fully work
 immo , gearbox , all security , index , parameters  a nightmare I hate that
& if by chance I hear a caugh & then after it's having issues it will be a lifemare
Jaguar diag is limited & I wt have one at all ..
there are lots of offers in the ECU aftermarket & it's cheap
It will be fun to connect & to see the computer make the engine living
We have serious duds around here that build race cars with modules such as Sybele , Sodemo , DTA , Haltech , omex etc
could be done in a day !
The Jag is an all sequantial management v8 & need a big ECU , lots are for 4cyl
 & then it needs a rare motor bench dyno when drum dynos are allover   

well can't wait to see it done !!
