James walks you through the impressive customisations he's made to this BEAST of a Jensen Interceptor Series III.
🔧 Starting under the hood, James highlights the original 383 cubic inch V8 Chrysler engine that's been bored and stroked to a meaty 7 litres! A Holley Terminator throttle body has been installed, giving the car everything you need to run a custom EFI from an after market ECU (4 fuel injectors, idle control valve, intake air temperature sensor). A Cobra oval air cleaner has also been installed, fitting with the aesthetic of the cast aluminium rocker covers.
👀 A cleaner, more modern look has been achieved through the custom daytime running lights (with unique indicator function), along with the simplified front grille, front valence and side wing vents.
🔩 The wheels on this Jensen are one-of-a-kind. They're realised by Rimscarnated to meet the owner's vision. The custom, massive brakes were build by HiSpec Motorsport.
🏎️ The boot showcases a custom aluminium fuel tank, Pioneer active subwoofer, HiSpec handbrake controller, and MoTeC PDM that replaces traditional fuses and relays.
💡 Almost all the original switchgear has been replaced by another MoTeC PDM that is neatly hidden beneath the centre console. The interior trim has been finished in oxblood red leather. The dashboard is fitted with replica aluminium switches from the Ford GT, as well as custom gauges from Speedhut that have been personalised with the owner's own logo.

the idea of a modern interceptor is the stuff of dreams, maybe if I win the lottery

Nice. I added Edelbrock proflow port injection in 2007 to my 440 Jensen convertible and was an early customer of HiSpec's 6 pot calipers. 320/330mm disks I think ? The 17in rims made in the traditional Mk3 style suit it better IMHO. Interested by the lowered front valance. I have never got around to fitting the fiberglass spoiler that Jensen developed in one of their reincarnations. Looks like a high quality job, congrats.

I was hoping to hear the engine running but it's something to look forward to. Will be subbed, leave a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Greetings from Flint, Michigan, USA!

Love Jensons, not a fan of all the black accents/wheels Baby blue with chrome much nicer!

Nice build. Are you keeping the original analogue instraments? Part of the Jensen flavour for me is the way the rev indicator bounces around.

Looking cool from the eyes of a former Interceptor SP owner, but I really don't like the black wheels. Otherwise, looks great.

Wow really nice work on the Interceptor, subtle mods in all the right places. what are the wheels 17x? I am working on my 71 and looking to fit as much rubber front and rear as I can. MoTeC touch is brilliant.

Very interesting project - thanks for sharing. Given that originality is clearly not a focus for the owner, I'm surprised he hasn't elected to go for an LS3 engine swap and 6-speed box - better performance, lighter, spares more easy to come by, much improved fuel efficiency.

@steveberry a modern hemi mopar would be good too , drivetrain from a challenger hellcat maybe
@steveberry1366
@steveberry1366 6 месяцев назад
Yes, that would work too.
@RetroRoadsports

It might get a modern 8 speed gearbox yet, we're going to see how it drives on the original. These mopar units are great, reliable engines, MPG not really a concern when owning a Jensen but the EFI setup should improve it over the original carb.

is the boot the same volume size as the original ?
@RetroRoadsports
@RetroRoadsports 6 месяцев назад
Pretty much. No modifications to the floor etc. A small reduction due to panelling behind the rear sear but it's negligible.

This is very similar to what I am doing with my Aston Martin DBS: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U1z9qs41HU0.html. The wheels look identical to a standard wheel by 'Image Wheels'; the 'Billet 81', but Image also make a Jensen inspired wheel, the 'Intercepter Billet'. Was that considered? You might kick yourself for not thinking of it, but for my four headlamp setup I have one pair (outer) set for driving on the left in the UK and the inner pair set for driving on the right on the continent switched by a hidden switch in the arm rest. I shall be asking my electrician why we don't have MoTec PDM. We seem to have gone for the 'Sh!t load of wiring. All excellent work.

Image were approached first and could not build the wheels we needed to our specifications.

EFI 383. Bloody Legendary. Absolutely sick of seeing feature of morons that LS swap a Jensen. The ONLY modern motor that is acceptable for these cars, is a HellCrate, or the Demon Spec motor. Unfortunately, deleting the side-light means the car is much more likely to be involved in a Fail To Give Way incident, for someone off to the side who never sees the indicator until it's too late in a roundabout. There are many modern cars where the indicator in the headlights is not visible at all past around 15degrees off axis. When changing the lights like this, it is ESSENTIAL to add side-repeaters in the door mirrors, doing so in the grills is a GREAT idea. Can the daytime running lights be deactivated for owners who don't want to drive around blinding people in clear sunny days?
@RetroRoadsports
@RetroRoadsports 6 месяцев назад
Thanks for the comments. The DRLs will have their own switch to deactivate if required :) The side vents have about 48 Bright Orange LEDs tucked away inside them for the very reasons you describe :) With the DRL flashing Orange and the side vent repeaters, you won't miss it!

Front end looks weak like it’s lost it’s face charater and muscle. Change the wheels. Terrible. Like the air cleaner but not in that rounded oval. Doesn’t sit with the car at all. A cobra is all curves. Jensen isn’t.
