Interesting, I've never had a car that warrants vanity plates.

Anyway, here is an under-the-hood shot:

The sheet that came with the car states:
- new GM Crate LT-1 short block
- Forged Pistons
- Bow-tie rods
- Steel crank
- Performance GM roller cam
- 89 Chevy MFI heads
- Edelbrock Intake
- 650 Holley w/ electric choke
- AC Delco electric fuel pump
- runs on regular gas at about 17 MPG average

"Conversion performed by JIM's JAGS of Dallas in 1993. The current engine was installed in 2002 and has been driven about 1100 miles. The car itself has 73k. I have owned the car for 10 years."
- It has a 700R GM overdrive transmission and has about 5000 miles on it
- The rear end is Jaguar with 2.56 gear

Does this sound like a lifter or an exhaust leak?
Jag V8 walk around

and can anyone ID the AC compressor? It needs a new one.

I was going to suggest that you "fix" it with a Chevy V8 once the V12 craps out, but it looks like someone already did! Nice score!
