Name that engine

I was thinking it was an old e-type. The only problem with that is they made quite a few of them.

Jag, yes, I6, yes. But what model? It was a production jag, even though very few were made.

I guess it has to be an XKSS, because of the Triple Weber IDA's, and the round tube frame-work, but the cam covers are throwing me, because they have some sort of PCV setup on them, which I can't find as original on an XKSS, the car in the pic must be modded.

Not an XKSS. I know this hint will give it away... but only 52 were made. The one in my picture is valued at over $1 million.

I wasn't thinking older because of the dumb PCV looking deal, but I'm gonna say XK120C, aka, C-type. Still can't doublecheck that production figure though.

Edit - found a pic of a MODEL of a LeMans racer example that shows those cam cover vent lines . . .

Yep

That was a good one, definately gave me some trouble since the chassis of the C-type and D-Type/XK-SS are so similar.

Anyway, here's the new one. Might be really easy for some, but who knows.

im not exactly sure, i do know its Electronically Fuel Injected and has a turbo...:laugh:
 
I read Tyler's post incorrectly. I thought that he said Matt was right and to procede with the next engine. I thought I was just correcting him. Whoopsy daisy.
 
I tried to think of a rare engine. I then did a google image search on a Pontiac firefly turbo. I totally forgot the tha g10 turbo came in the sprint and not the firefly. I guess I messed up this game. Someone should fire me.
