Now there is a 7.3 pushrod iron block Godzilla engine.
I wonder how long before one finds its way into a Rocketbird?

I did the H4/H1 conversion years ago....I used Hellas from an old Jag XJS, and they work extremely well.
Took some work, but so worth it.
Big fan of the Hella/Cibie E codes.

Thanks, Sure sad all those pics are gone. :/

Damn, sucks to have lost all these images. :/

I kept thinking about this.....A Rocketbird that drives and rides like a Jag.
Looking closer into this, XK6/XJS are easy and cheap to find.

I just wish we had common available quality suspension parts, rebuilt mine and a year or so later boots were shot.

I also am working towards a Jag swap…….but in a 1941 Coupe.
No way id swap my Rocketbird, the stock suspension works too well.

I ran a stainless set of Econoline baby flippers for a bit, just wasn't a good look for my Bulletbird.
this type, with trim rings…..

I have a 85 XJS that I'm using the suspension under my 1941 Chevrolet Coupe, front and rear.

Has anyone run these wheels? Those are the newer Torque Thrust with a different offset, so not sure. I ran the earlier 2001 Bullitt Torque thrust on my '62 with no issues. I did add spacers up front for looks, and even fit the skirts with them. ./image-archive/i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/Rogu...

Love Raders, may get a set for mine one day.
Lets see more pics!

I put Hella E-codes in mine and the output is like modern cars.
with the relay, the juice doesn't have to go thru the switch, so it doesn't heat up.

So Paul, did you get this done?

Happened to me more than once.

You likely couldn't say that if it was a jelly jar single M/C.

Thanks

any update? This is on my short list as well.
