Spikehause is using a 4i engine and running gear. ( I assume you mean the MK1 3dr 2.8 4i and not the later 5dr 2.0 ).

I am using the diff, drums, shafts and box of a 4i but mated to a 2.9 engine instead.

It's a bit heavy and only produces about 150BHP as standard. But engine and box can be changed at a later date anyway once your used to the POWER.


The Jag V6 is going to be a probelm as supplys of Getrag 221 Manual boxes are very very short. Not sure what box the V8 Jags use.

The 4i should yeild a number of parts for sale that will recoup some of your cost.
