That's one I originally considered Jerry,ironically Jag motors are more common here than small block Chevys.
You can buy a complete XJ donor vehicle for a few hundred bucks/pounds,the only downside is the RHD steering rack.

The Jag straight six can easily produce as much HP as a decent small block if it's built properly too.

Paul Moffat (moff1959) here on the Stovebolt shoehorned a Jag V12 into his '40.
Now that IS different.

I never got round to measuring one up but I imagine the Jag six will fit if you say you've seen one.
Even better you can use all the running gear so it will handle more like a Jag,rather than a truck.
