Jag rear end dimension

Hi guys new to the boards. Tried searching here and all across the web can't seem to find a place that gives dimensions on jag rar ends. Would like to use one my conversion but need a width to start to see if it will even work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Was going to use a c4 Dana but the jag seems to have more style so would like to use the jag rear instead of the corvette.

Re: Jag rear end dimension

Looking for dimensions on jaguar rear ends. The corvette is pushing my limits at 60". So I'm looking to see if Ithe jaguar was shorter to give me a little more fabrication room.

Re: Jag rear end dimension

So your not wanting to narrow?

Re: Jag rear end dimension

You need to check out my web pages on the subject.  Page II of my IRS retrofit has a listing of most Jag rears and what their track width was.  You will need to scroll down to the section "Choosing a Donor Car:"


If it isn't broken..... modify it anyway!!!!

I saw this episode of Wheeler Dealers. In segment 3, narrowing a Jag IRS with different parts.

Re: Jag rear end dimension

A Jag 420 rear should be about exactly right.
Around 54" as I recall.
Much harder to find than XJ6 but more likely to have a posi in it and lower ratios.

A 420G rear is the same as an XJ6, it's a much larger car than the 420.


At these prices I want my gas 100 octane, leaded, and my windshield washed!

Hmm, "Edit" does not seem to work for me.

A series 3 E-Type has the same 54"  rear track as the 420 and 3.8S.

Might be easier to find, but probably priced higher, almost certain to have the posi unit in it.

Series 1 E-Type is a 50" track, pretty narrow, and expect ot pay at least $1,000 for one.
