I like the look.  Adapting a tach from a V-12 to a V-8 might be a challenge.  I imagine the other gauges are easily adaptable.

I had no idea fiber (or fibre to a Jag) optics were used in a car that long ago.

The 1968 Corvette had fiber optics in the console to monitor all of the front and rear lights.

Yep, my 69 Vette had the fiber in the console for the lights.

I always thought it was cool idea.

Chevrolet was the first to introduce fiber optics in 1967. Called the Vigilite Monitoring System, it was made available mid-year on full size models, Chevelles, and Camaros as an option. Priced at $26.35 on 1968 Camaros, it was rarely ordered and as such NOS systems can sell for upwards of $1,000 today. Complete used systems command high prices as well, often approaching NOS prices. In fact, this option is so rare that records indicate just 117 Chevelles were equipped with the light monitoring system in 1967, and only 1,755 Camaros were so equipped in 1968. It was even less popular on the 1969 Camaro, with just 1,450 installations.

Re the Jag front end removal with engine in..
Common trick for these .
Support bars that sit astride the engine. These are supported on end blocks that sit in the channel where the front fenders are bolted,rather than across the top of the fender with risk of damage to the customers paint or denting.
Mounts unbolted,engine raised with jack, attach engine to bar,remove jack. Engine now suspended.
Spotted this when I got my last front end. my son works for a specialist Jag repairer , and I got my front end from under a customer discard S111 vehicle left at the shop.
I left my old S1 front end in it,s place.
