There is a place in Dallas Tx that sells a kit for $695. I have no
idea if it is any good. I called John's Jaguar and they faxed me some
information about it. They don't sell the kit they just have the
information. I don't have their # handy but the address for the kit seller
is V6MGB Conversions PO Box 741992 Dallas Tx 75374. THey say to send a
self address stamped envelope which won't work in your case.
