I would hardly call pre-ford jags "mechanically sound". They were mechanically pieces of crap. A very popular thing to do to older V12 jags was (is?) to replace the v12 with a GM 350 cubic inch V8 because the V12 was so problematic. Ford brought some semblance of reliability to Jaguar.
New Jags look an awful lot like taurus'.
The 5.7L V-8 AKA the 350 HAS been around for decades.
