I didn't see that coming. One of the most beautiful engines ever made. second to the flathead Ford.

" Lucas, The Prince of Darkness"

Why do the English drink warm beer? They all have Lucas refrigerators.

Yes, "from these cars fall the finest electrical parts ever made by man!!":eek:

LUCAS...oh,no...memories of my Austin-Healy!

Re: On Hemmings Daily this AM
 

Seems like a heck of a lot work when you could do a hot flathead instead.

IMHO, I think using that motor ruins the car. I'd rather see a SBC in there than that Jag motor.

I truly loved the LUCAS wiring and electrical's many years ago in my AH100 and Jag XKE - NOT!!!!!

I rode Triumphs, BSA and Norton and don’t remember having issues with electrics..... or oil leaks..... Mark

Re: On Hemmings Daily this AM
 

I think if the engine was a foot further back and a six inches lower it might have been a good idea, but perched high and forward like that? The handling must have suffered.

Take a look at that throttle linkage set up.
