I heard that its a jaguar Engine... what Jaguar Has it? I kida want to know because Im pretty sure that Jaguar Has more than 16valves. I was thinkin you could change out the Heads for another from the Jag Engine so you could get better power? Or had anybody gotten their heads ported?

The Disco 2 has either a 4.0 or a 4.6 which is a modified buick engine from 1959.

Are they similar to the northstar that is in buicks and Caddys now?

They were built nearly 30 plus years before the NorthStar.
Just look at it like it is a small block, low tech GM small block that got exported to the UK.
