E-Jag gets my vote too. Wonder why there aren't E-Jag kits out there.

Guys were putting Chevys in them way back when, but the Brits never built their cars for salty NorthEastern US roads, and the cars rusted to slag very quickly. The 3.8 - 4.2 liter chain driven 6 left a lot to be desired in the power department. The Pontiac OHC in-line 6 from '66 or therabouts proved to be a more reliable, higher winding engine than the E-Jag 6.

A fiberglass E-Jag, powered by anything contemporary would still be a show stopper amid a field of Cobras.
