The Jag 12s in the early '70s Etypes had the same HP and torque ratings as the six cyl. and are way, way, way more complex... ie, the 4 strombergs you mentioned. The 12s just don't hold up as well. Take a look at the bottom end of the Jag I-6 XK engine. Tank like with 7 main bearings, lots of cast iron... Oh...yea. They did use the XK engines in tanks too...

The 12s are, of course, smooth as silk when in proper order...

Drive safe out there George!
