I don't think plastic blocks and heads would work very well

The Jag engine and manifolds would need to weigh roughly the same as the Bristol engine. Isn't the 2.4 a small V8? lovely engine but would it fit width wise?

Then the 401 would be driven more, with less chance of being stolen and gutted for a fake Ace, etc.

How does that work - would you have a sign on it saying "Not worth nicking cos it has a Jag engine" ?
