Reinstalling the engine and transmission in a Jaguar V12 E-type


Few mechanics have enough skill/guts/perversity to work on Jaguars. Here, I am reinstalling the engine and transmission in a V12 E-type. In order to change the clutch (and in this case rebuild the transmission), one must remove the engine and transmission together, which requires removing the car's entire nose and a massive transverse plate which anchors the front suspension's torsion bars. Strangely, I am smiling.
