It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I had the engine rebuilt to race specs, 355hp and revs to 7,000. It’s very lively and a blast to drive. Well done! Gorgeous silhouette (Enzo said the most beautiful in the world)! The motor upgrade was a great idea for a driven car, and often does not negatively impact the classic car sales price. I owned a drophead coupe 4.2 liter Series II, but I was young and my only upgrades were rust repair and a sports exhaust. You are wise to avoid any possibility of salt. Rust went through XKE's like snails through lettuce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
