Nice job you have done but i think if i was to do the same (which ive always wanted to do) it would need to be at least a V8.

The Jag 3.0 V6 has VVT and makes 240bhp in the S-Type. The Mondeo dosn't have VVT and makes 220bhp so might be worth trying to sell on the VVT system if its a bolt on job to the Mondeo engine.

I did ideally want a v8 but this came up at a good price at the time I was looking.
Not sure if it's a bolt on job but either way I'm pretty sure I smashed the bits off

Banging job!

There's a company that make these online, if you're good at it (which it looks like you are) you can make a small fortune building them for people.

Thanks dude!
I'd love to build these on the side for some extra money..it's just finding the right engines at the right price. And now I've moved In to a flat I don't have the space for engines right now..I did this in my last couple of months at home haha. Would definitely be interest in making them though, so nice to do

Yeah, i guess space and time are the main things you'd need. Maybe in the future, get a garage, build them on the side, make a fortune, buy a Ferrari, when it dies take the engine, make another table, and repeat.

Sounds like a plan
We have underground parking garage here..but I'm sure the whole thing would go missing before I could even get the oil out

Although saying that, there is a 80's Ranger Rover V8 going for £100 only an hour away from me..

Is it a shared garage then? you want your own garage on the side of your house or something ideally, somewhere that only you have access too.

bargains.

It's just a big underground car park with assigned spaces and some small storage bins. Nowhere to keep anything like that tbh.
Well I called mum..she doesn't want 'another dirty fucking engine sat on the patio for months on end that the dog will keep pissing on'
