A lot of people call 'em a tractor motor, , but I think they're ok. Rattly, no rocket, but they're torquey for their size. I have a Webber carby and balance shaft delete kit to go in when I get a round tuit. Till then, just enjoy as a old jap DD.

cheers

I had a GE 2.0 auto back in the day, I pulled the 2.0 out as it seized plus the 2.0 litres were crap anyway, dropped in a 2.6 with a close ratio jap alloy case 5 speed, this along with the flywheel from a 2.0 and the diff ratios to match the 2.0/auto made it a rocket, not a great deal of top end but got there very quickly, awesome on hills too.
I reckon a pair of SU's would be great on that, maybe 2" or 2.25" if you can find a manifold to suit...
The other mod that was semi popular was to use the head, manifolds and injection set up from a magna....

but it did go good and would smoke 3rd till the tyres exploded

No flames from me, some people claim Xj's are crap, doesn't make them right....

The 2.0 litre was a turd of an engine, soft meaning they wore quickly but would erv like crazy, before I replaced the engine in my GH it would rev off the dial, used oil but ran till I pulled it out....

pretty good for a turd in a bigger turd.
