well they must be quite powerfull... the 6pot jobbies are good for 140mph and about 200-250bhp, so the V12 must be a fair old bit pokier than that 
dunno what you could put it in, except maybe another jag? maybe some oldskool peeps might be able to help out, they always put whacky large capacity V engines in cars that are designed for 30bhp

Will! You can stick them in a transit van, a mate of my dads had one when I was WELL young in a Mk1 transit,
AND it just so happens I got an old one down the end of the drive that could do with it in..... if you fit it in I'll give you a cuddle

These engines can be tuned to mental power, 1000bhp+ with forced induction, Jag V12s are often used in boat racing etc.
Parts arnt cheap tho, and they aint nothing special as std.
Ive seen websites on tuning them actually, an american one is the one that sticks in my mind the most

come on then, suggestions for what it will fit in!! So far we have come up with
1) sierra
2) carlton
3) manta
4) capri
5) wedgy shape supra
anymore???
also been doing a bit of research, apparenlty they bore to 6.0L peice of piss, and in turbo form can make 1200+BHP , but you need steel crank/rods etc for that 
cher-ching

Do you actually know how big they and the gearbox are ? 
You would be surprised at what you can actually fit it in, trust me, we have looked
Got an old v12 jag sat in my mates garden under a tarp
Best bet we have seen upto now is slap it in an early range rover
did weigh it up against my old mk1 xr2 - would have meant sitting on the flywheel
Carlton could be possible, so too manta. quite easily too , just plenty of grinding and welding
have fun m8
P.s, got anotherone here if you REALLY want it

AD-RS1600i, it was my brothers idea, hence why we got a spare supercharger, a spare rs2000 engine, a spare rs turbo head and now a jag v12, sat in the garage
, and possibly 2xrover 3.5v8's on the way, if no-one outbids us all for mad ideas/"projects" 
and also the REAL project that I should really be concentrating on, also got 2 cossies to build just can't turn down a 5.3 V12 for ten quid can you???
sayin that the old man is going to go tits when we tell him theres MORE junk in the garage

Do a search for jag engined kit cars.
There are e-type replica's and things like that which your engine could be used for. Should be a web site for owners of jag based kit cars that may be intrested in it.

Keep your eyes skinned for AJ6 cylinder heads.
They are off the modern straight 6 jagular engines, 4 valves per cylinder twin overhead camshaft. and more importantly theyy have the exact same bore spacing and headstud posistions.
It would just need some creative inlet/exhuast manifolds, but could work!
