Good luck finding a blower/supercharge for that V12. You'll spend more for a blower then you could ever sell that car for. You'd probably have to change asome internals, new fuel system, I bet by the time your done you'd be looking at close to 8-10g's to completely make the swap, with a charger.

Other then that, if you can safely fabricate new brackets, it would fit under the hood. If everything, driveshaft, etc.. etc.. would connect to it, well, that's be a different story. Also, wasen't one of the jag v12's mounted sideways?

You'd be better off putting a ford 5.4L supercharged in it. MOre HP then the v12, and proven itself. You can probably get one for 4g's witht he charger. Or find a wrecked Harley Edition f-150 or a lightning.
