(MAHWAH, N.J.) – June 25, 2020 – Jaguar Classic has reintroduced the 3.8‑liter XK engine block, as fitted to many coveted Jaguar sedans and sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s, including the legendary E‑type. Unavailable new for more than 50 years, these are the only brand‑new XK engine blocks available.
