I didn't know there was a STR Facebook group. Good to know. (I am a Jaguar Forum member, and own several S-types/Rs) I occasionally visit the LS forum to see what is new. Are your the same AJV8 as in the jaguar Forum?

Back when I had my axles made, the splines on the explorer hub were a common size that was in their of tooling selection. The C4 corvette spline was a problem and the shop that made the axles had to order tooling to be able to make the splines. I have probably 10-15 different axles I measured...

90+ percent sure that these are the seals I used. 451817 by FEDERAL MOGUL-NATIONAL SEALS - Oil Seal Other details will have to wait, until I can find time to dig out my back-up drives and find the folder that has all the information on that project.

Yes I am still around. I did that long enough ago that I don't remember the details. I should have all my notes and details in an Excel file on a back-up drive. Off the top of my noggin, I purchased a Torsen 8.8 LSD that used the larger spline hubs. I did open up the housing to accept a...

Gen I and Gen II on the Jaguar S-types have different sub-frames. I would stay away from trying to deal with swapping a Gen II Jaguar into a LS. Gen 1 Jaguar sub-frames should swap directly into a LS. But, there might be slight differences on the emergency brake cable mounting brackets and...

What happened to the Forum? I've been busy for a couple months and haven't visited the forum. Logged in to find that all my messages are gone and the forum has a new format. Please fill me in! Back around Christmas I put a set of my custom Toe rods together for a forum member, and now I...

I second that! Fantastic job. Can't wait on feedback on how the car handles.

For the $3k, does it have the supercharger, harness and all the accessories? Over the past year I have seen several low mileage STR engines that show a picture of the complete engine, for a good price, but when you ask them it is basically a long block. I purchased an 04 STR engine 8 months...

Clarification about VVT in the 4.2 Jaguar Supercharged engines. 2003-2005 did not have VVT. Later model 4.2L supercharged engines do have VVT. The were able to get another 5 hp out of these engines. As stated earlier, the newer 5.0 Jaguar engines are completely different than the 4.2L...

Latest Jaguar S-type LSX engine swap that is in the works. Swapper hasn't stated what he is going to to electrically. http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s-type-s-type-r-supercharged-v8-x200-15/2000-jaguar-s-type-turbo-ls-swap-165122/#post1492834 Not much to add regarding what has been already...

I am not too sympathetic to JWs. Years ago, I dated a JW woman whose parents were JWs. She was a sweet gal, but was totally conditioned to the JW mindset. I went to many of their worships and outings. Over time, I just couldn't take all the indoctrination and BS. Needless to say we...

Don Ohio. Your tone and style of writing will turn the most devout believers away from the lord. Perhaps you are a messenger of satan!

I've read this thread from beginning to end. To date, my conclusion is that what "don-ohio" writes indicates that he is a religious fanatic. I don't know him personally, and perhaps he is a good person, but I worry about our society because of his type of inflexible personality.

I am putting another set together. PM me in a week and I will have the parts list put together.

Rod end has a chromoly body, self lubricating nylon/ptfe self sealing race, and hard chrome plated ball. No sign yet of corrosion. If you are paranoid or drive you car in snow with rock salt or mag chloride on the road, rubber boots exist for covering the rod end. One can get stainless steel...

I am making an order of custom tie rod tubes that I used to assemble a custom pair of toe rods. I've been running my first set on my car for over a year and they have worked out very well. Recently, another forum member contacted me about them because he wants to build up a set. I will have 3...

Swapping a G8 to GXP TR6060 is straight forward, but there are harness differences. Assuming you put on a manual flywheel with clutch and put in the clutch pedal and the hydraulics, then you have to do the rewiring. You have to remove the Auto transmission harness. Different wires to the...

No, All2Cool's and LSFrank's comments are much more realistic. Used car salesmen often over-price unique or less common cars and sell them to uninformed buyers. In the case of the car I was looking for, this particular overpriced car was discussed on another forum and consensus was it was...

I wrote with some sarcasm. ;) There was a car with lower mileage for its age I wanted to purchase, that I found on listed on AutoTrader. I offered the guy a little above the KBB Dealer Retail. (About $3k less than he was asking.) I kept pestering him for 4 month. Then I had many friends...

Lets all contact the seller and let them know it is way overpriced. Perhaps after 10 or 20 of us chastise him, the seller will sell it for a realistic price.
