In 1971, a V12 engine was added to the Jaguar E-Type, and later in the Daimler Double Six and the Jaguar XJ 12. At that time, it was the only twelve-cylinder engine in serial production in the world. In the mid-seventies, the E-Type had to clear the field and besides the XJ, the special-lined 2+2 came onto the market. It was the XJS. Easy installation, only two wires to hook up. No permanent modifications involved. No points to set or change. Engine timing remains "spot on" far longer.

The catalogue suggests the pistons we have are 8.7:1 If the math is done with a 3.62" bore x 4.17" stroke, a 15cc dome (the new pistons), 105cc head, and a .040" gasket, I get 8.2:1.
