Easy, Mitsibishi rubbish wear out quick, rattle, blow blue smoke, gutless
and above all, hard to get pats.
The Holden motors are plentiful, reliable and easy to get parts for.
The poor guy doesn't want a complete "LEMON"... ROTFLMAO :-)

I haven't bought any kits from them, but I know of a guy who got a Cleveland
to T5 kit which went OK. The manager or supervisor I spoke to when checking
out the same kit, didnt inspire much, especially when he said "we've got the
clutch problems ironed out now" Ahh,..*now* hmmm...

Probably because the sensational Mitsubishi V6 enigine is dead and they cost
an arm and two legs to replace :)

If they were reliable he wouldn't be looking to replace the one he has,

V6 Conversions have available a Conversion Kit that allows the installation
of the Holden Commodore V6 3.8ltr EFI V6 engine to the above vehicle.
The kit is designed to replace the Mitsubishi 2.6 ltr, 4 cylinder petrol
engine (carby
model), as well as the 2.5 ltr 4 cylinder diesel engine.
The kit is designed to allow the V6 engine to be fitted to the standard
5-speed gearbox. All of these kits including their respective transmissions
have the same combined length making them completely interchangeable.
The adaptor kits are designed to allow adequate firewall clearance therefor
eliminating the need to move the transfer case or modify drive shafts.
The adaptor housing is a flywheel housing with the GM bolt pattern on the
front and the Mitsubishi bolt pattern on the rear. The adaptor housing
measures 80mm or 3.15'' in lenght, which allows adequate firewall and
throttle body clearance.
The adaptor housing allows the standard V6 GM clutch pressure plate with a
V8 clutch disc to be used on the V6 flywheel. The V8 clutch disc provides
less clutch shudder in the heavier 4WD due to the clutch plate having
stronger centre springs.
The clutch is coupled to the gearbox by a special gearbox input extension
shaft. It has the GM spigot diameter with external spline on the engine end
and Mitsubishi spigot diameter with external spline on the gearbox end.
The Mitsubishi engine mounting kit (Part no. V6C 790) enables the use of the
standard GM engine bracket located on the left side of the engine. This
design allows the use of the standard GM air conditioning compressor if
required.
Comprehensive fitting instructions are also supplied as part of the kit
along with excellent technical backup support if required.
Further info here.

Not necessarily. Even a Rolls engine will desintergrate if treated poorly.

If you can find one not full of rust.
Mind you, there are far more many 40 year old Jaguars on the road than XP
Foulcans.
Why?
They are drivable and a pleasyre to drive. By todays standards they also
offer a degree of safety never even dreamed of in XP Foulcans.
You may find a few XP's that are sitting in sheds, as the previous owners
considered them not worth repairing, and rightly so. They were a horrid
car. Five and a half turns lock to lock steering. A small engine with a
short stroke that screamed to move. Drum bakes that barely made them
stop. Uncomfortable bench seats, terrible suspension and the list goes
on....
Why was the Jaguar restored four times, and travelled 1,000,000 km ?
Well, it looked good, was a dream to drive and sit in, had a powerful
DOHC, six cylinder, cross flow, hemi head six that was reliable.
The car had four wheel power assisted brakes, power steering, IRS ALL
ROUND and above all, charm.
There is absolutely NO comparison.
The only thing that ever let Jaguars down in Australia was bad
maintenance and totally unqualified mechanics.
Most Australian mechanics knew how to repair flat head fords and ohv
chevs, non had any experience on "engineered" motors.
And this, is the reason most bogans blast Fiat, Lancia, Jaguar, etc.. NFI

I did, and I didn't have to look hard.
My next door neighbour has an XP Falcon sedan he's owned since new and it
still runs daily despite never having anything more serious than a respray
about 5 years ago. On the other hand, finding a 40 year old Jag that
*doesn't* need an engine rebuild, a full re-trim and 400 square feet of
sheet metal welded into the body to fill the rust holes is another thing
entirely :)

Because there's *lots* of fuckwits out there who think Jags are good cars.
They usually know nothing about automobiles :)

Yeah, they have to be able to *run* so they can actually get out onto the
road. A non runner has the best passive safety system around :)

Oh, I'm sorry, but I thought you were describing your average Jag there.
If you were, you forgot to mention heavy as lard, handling ability of a
wounded bull, electrical systems that even the Chinese would reject, gasket
systems sponsored by OPEC, steering systems completely devoid of any kind of
road feel whatsoever, and sheet metal which rusted *almost* as fast as an
Alfa.
Oh, and let's not forget the fact that the cars were designed by window
lickers in a sheltered workshop, as that's the only way you could explain
why they're such a *cunt* of the thing to work on :)

Because they're an unreliable piss poor heap of shit.

Ah, Charm.
That's one of those subjective things like smell. My shit doesn't smell,
whereas yours stinks like, well, shit.

Absolutely.
That's why they sold a hundred thousand of the things compared to around 2
thousand of the same vintage Jaguar.

Ah. And this would have presented a problem with a Jaguar how exactly? Their
engines are about as "engineered" as a Victa lawn mower.

There is nothing special about Jaguar motors unless you count terible

Yes I've heard the crap about you and REPCO, rebuilding Jaguar engines and

More than I'm willing to admit to unfortunately.
Experience tells me there are three things you can do with your average Jag:
(a) Throw shitloads of money at it in an endless stream of repair bills. (b)
Repower the thing with a Chev and enjoy a performance and reliability bonus,
or (c) sell the fucking thing and let it be a headache for someone else.

Some Celicas, eg the 1983 RA60 had a W57 Supra type gearbox as standard
which is a much stronger gearbox than the T50 you are probably thinking of.
