hi there, i'm new here. i'm would like to know if there is anybody who makes a Jaguar E type kit car. i've looked but all i can find are old companies that are no longer in business. i would like to find a tubular chassis and fiberglass body. i know a little about building a kit car. i helped my friend build his 8 second 23 ford Altered. i know there a bit more when it come to building a street vehicle. but i think i got it.
so is there's a company that makes a Jaguar E type kit car?
but isn't jag parts a little pricey? i was thinking of trying to build one with a Racer Walsh or Esslinger Engineering N/A 2.3L engine. or a SVO Turbo 2.3L. ether one i should be able to put out 200-250 HP. hell the SVO i can get 300 hp out of that, and still run on 87oct. but if i pop that motor it's no big deal. however i'm thinking the jag 3.8 is a bit more money, and harder to find. the ford 2.3 i can got at any junkyard and start over. now i was thinking of using the jag rear.
