Mind you, everything I said would make me totally un-registerable  hence the 6Ltr chev. 
Mind you, I dream of the day that I might be able to do what I'd like so in my shed sits a 302W, a 5Ltr virgin block, and a new 351W service block just waiting for the day.

lol, Ford envy eh.
While we're at it (brain picking time, all opinions welcome) I notice you run a Jag LSD, do you know of a good guy in SEQ for them ? Also what would be your preference for aftermarket 4.125" bore Windsor blocks on a value for money basis ? Dart and World would be great blocks but what is your opinion on others such as Ford Racing etc ? |

What ...to service the jag diff or buy a used one?.
Re Blocks, I'm a bit partial to Bill Mitchell stuff but an overkill for a street car.

Re the diff, mine has a series 1 or 2 (inboard disc) 3.77:1 open centre and I want to go for an LSD and possibly change ratios. I'm not sure what torque they will hack either so was going to see about that and work out what limits that puts on things and what cost to go past those limits.
I've not seen Bill Mitchell, I'll have a look about. |

andyl, sorry mate, Bill Mitchell is World Products.
Re the Diff. I have a huge respect for a small independent Jag service business at Newmarket in Brisbane. Jag & Rover Spares Phone 07 33565255. He also wrecks Jags and Rovers so is a source for second hand stuff.
The main thing is he knows his Jags backwards and employs great Jag mechanics. But be warned, some find him a bit brash ... not arrogant ... just short and sharp in his responses. He is a very busy man. Actually the business is a bit strange but all the hot rod guys buy their Jag rear ends from him.

Not in Queensland but another great source for Jag bits is Jag-Daim in Melbourne. 1300 335375 chat to Brian Wheeler.
If you are going to replace your inboard rear brake rotors get the ventilated ones from Brian. Well worth the slightly extra costs. The kit comes complete with all spacers for your existing calipers etc.
Also rumor has it that Brian is developing an outboard rear brake conversion for series11 jag diffs ( Not the one in my gallery). He is adapting the later series hubs( which have outboard brakes) onto the series 11 lower arms etc.
The diff/arms/brakes assy in my gallery is a very very special one.

Thanks for that, great info once again, and Brians details also, the ventilated discs sound like the go, everything I've read says the inboard discs cook the diff seals so it makes no sense to do those at the same time. Thanks again. |

Actually most of the Cobras with Jag rears I've driven, the rear brakes were doing bugga all so very little heat was generated.
But you are right, the vented rotors don't cook the seals.
