Highly sought after year and engine on this Jag. ENGINEThe new 60-degree, all-aluminum SOHC V-12 had its roots in the planned mid-1960s DOHC racing engine that powered the stillborn XJ13. The production version used a 90 x 70-mm bore and stroke and displaced 5,343-cc/326-cu.in. It had a forged-steel three-plane crankshaft with seven main bearings and wet cylinder liners, and in original form, a 9.1:1 compression ratio. Four emissions-ready one-barrel Zenith-Stromberg 175 CD 2SE carburetors supplied the copious amount of fuel demanded, and its new Lucas OPUS electronic ignition system was derived from Formula 1 racing practice. Output was a DIN-rated 272 hp (net, 244 hp) at 5,850 rpm and 304-lb-ft (283-lb-ft) of torque at 3,600 rpm. The Series III used either a fully synchronized four-speed manual gearbox with an enlarged 10.5-inch Borg & Beck clutch, or an optional three-speed automatic. It's estimated that little under half of all Series IIIs received the automatic.
