Cool Project Mike.
Here's my powertrain thoughts........
V-12 Very Cool but also Equally if not more Pricey than an LS motor.
I noticed your just above me in MI, so think about this...
The way Cars rust Out around here and get Totalled in winter junkyards are gonna be filling up. The Size and weight of the Jag considered why not go with a 5.3 out of any 98 and Up GMC or Chevy Truck?
Lingenfelters here locally are BOOMING with Turbo and Supercharged 5.3's in Everything. Even Uncle Sam sends the Tahoe's here for Bolt on Upgrades.
I have one of these in my 5960lb Avalalanche, it has a 4wd Tranny and Highway Gears and Bone Stock has more than enough Power to Toast the rear Posi Trac.
Get one in a 2wd version out of a Pick Up and possibly use the Tranny as well.
Best of Luck on this Very Cool Project.
