Wikipedia only states it's built in the "Jaguar facility located within the Ford Bridgend Engine Plant", not what it's based on.
A search for "what is AJ-V8 based upon?" yields this: http://www.jagweb.com/aj6eng/v8_performance.php
This is kind of the way I thought it was. Weren't they running it in Indy open wheel cars before Ford bought the company?
How is that even possible?I might be wrong, but it seems that the Brits are always running out of engines. And that is part of the reason that their automobile industry is declining.
Corrected.How is that even possible?
Executive Meeting:
Chairman of Frame & Body Manufacturing: "We're going to produce 5,000 frames this month."
Chairman of Engine Procurement: "We're going to source 46 engines from BMW, 2551 from Jaguar, 1320 from Ford, 953 from VM, and we might still have 130 of old Buick V8s left somewhere. The beauty of our plan is that the displacement, bore, and stroke of most of them is the same on paper, serial numbers intermingle, but not a single part is interchangeable."
Chairman of Are You Fucking Kidding Me: "Great plan, guys! Let's go to the club for cocktails!"

I thought the 5.0 was just the AJ-V8 gen III with spray-guided direct-injection, continuously variable intake and exhaust camshaft timing.
You're saying the AJ-V8 was originally developed from a Ford engine?
The new v8 shares noting with the old ajv8
I had it a little wrong. Ford sourced the 4.0 for the Lincoln LS and ford thunderbird in the late 90's to 2000's. I'm fairly certain it was developed with jag before ford bought JLR. But the motor never made it past those two vehicles outside of JLR products.
