£200- £300 , and may need rebuilding .

supra boxes can handle the power - but i think theyre more expensive .

The Jag and BMW Getrag (295 i think) are getting quite had to find a good one now and spares are even worse.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I paid £275 for a late jag getrag 265, the one that's used on XJR straight six's and DB7 3.2 supercharged, the bell housing is not seperate. This also included the clutch and dual mass flywheel. The spigot is located in the flywheel.

I had to then pay another £100 for a prop shaft to match.

The reverse position is different to the earlier boxes fitted in 3.6 XJS's BTW.

I am looking for a supercharged Jag engine now for my next project.

Regards Mark
