Though it looks like the 2.5-liter V-8 used in the Daimler SP250, this Daimler Hemi V-8 for sale on Hemmings.com boasts about double the displacement after it was bored and stroked from its original “big” Daimler V-8 specifications (4,561 cubic centimeters, worth about 220 horsepower) to the same specs that Jaguar Technical Director William Heynes suggested the company use for its Mk X (5.0 liters, estimated 280-290 horsepower). Jaguar never built such a car, but this engine in a Mk X could make for a historically accurate replica of that prototype. From the seller’s description:
original big Daimler V8 hemi which has been built to original factory experimental specification from the sixties, as installed in a prototype Jaguar Mk X. Weighing a mere 498 lbs, it has been bored and stroked to 5 litres (305 ci) with special forged pistons, blue printed and balanced. All aluminum parts are polished, all bearings, gaskets, valves etc. are brand new. The water pump and carburetors (opposed 2” SU HD8) have been rebuilt and the whole engine has been assembled by a very experienced Jaguar engine specialist. The engine is complete with all accessories – power steering pump, fan, air filter canister and element, exhaust manifolds, all brackets and engine mounts. Also included with this engine are an additional new old stock water pump and an additional intake manifold which could be modified for 4 bbl or Weber carburetors or throttle body or 8 stack fuel injection. Perfect for a sleeper Daimler SP250, a 250 V8 or a hot rod.
