About a year ago Pipey McGraw from Muttley Racing started building a Jaguar E-Type with a naturally aspirated three-rotor engine. The team decided to change power plants over the winter. Out went the rotary and in went a 4.0 L S65 V8 from a BMW E92 M3. There is still more work needed before the project hits the roads but it’s already making an impression with the custom intake trumpets sticking through the hood.

Shuda kept the rotary was so much cooler!
Yes I agreed! We don’t need another V8 swap…
The s65 is legendary engine that needs love its more like the old rotary it loves to rev but has no torque 414hp and 295 torque nothing like a LS but yes there is a oversatureation of v8s
