5.3-liter V12 engine from a 1973 XKE with less than 45k miles in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition. All of the usual repairs have already been completed with some by prior owners such as cooling system cleaning and head rebuilds. Under the present ownership that included about 10k miles of driving on various vintage car events throughout the US, numerous upgrades and maintenance items have been completed. Notably, the troublesome OE Zenith-Stromberg carburetors have been replaced with reproduction SU carburetors that are currently available from Moss Motors for $4300. These offer much better adjustment of idle mixture and fuel metering at speed and load. At that time, all fuel hoses and clamps were replaced. Also of note, the distributer has been recurved to incorporate vacuum advance rather than vacuum retard. This was done to encourage more suitable shifting from the OE automatic and better throttle response under load. These and other modifications retain much of the originality of these remarkable V12 engines but with notable performance improvement making this particular 5.3-liter V12 exceptionally well suited for use with a manual transmission. This engine runs perfectly and without fault as is shown in video clips that are available upon request. It is 100% reliable and in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition and ready for installation in a suitable chassis. Most XKE Series 3 specific accessories are also included such as the recently rebuilt OE carbs, alternator, starter, electronic ignition and A/C compressor converted for R134. Some smaller trim and installation-specific parts (more…)
