Editing Jaguar AJ-V8 engine (section)

==Manufacture==
The AJ8 engine was manufactured in a dedicated Jaguar facility located within the [[Ford Bridgend Engine Plant]] in [[Bridgend]], [[South Wales]]. The Jaguar "plant-within-a-plant" saved considerable investment costs by Jaguar. It was staffed by workers dedicated to Jaguar engine production and included a linked flow-line of computer numerically controlled machines with automated loading and assembly. Component supply was on a "just-in-time" basis.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.ford.com/news/businesssecretaryvisitsfordsexpandingengineplant.htm |title=Business Secretary Visits Ford'S Expanding Engine Plant {{pipe}} Ford Motor Company Newsroom |publisher=Media.ford.com |date=2009-01-15 |access-date=2009-10-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090529012525/http://media.ford.com/news/businesssecretaryvisitsfordsexpandingengineplant.htm |archive-date=2009-05-29 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/ford-jobs-safe-at-bridgend-and-dagenham/241920 |title=Ford jobs safe at Bridgend and Dagenham - Car and Car-Buying News - What Car? |publisher=Whatcar.com |date=2009-07-28 |access-date=2009-10-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091002015943/http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/ford-jobs-safe-at-bridgend-and-dagenham/241920 |archive-date=2009-10-02 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/JAGUAR%27S+FIRST-EVER+V8+ENGINE+TO+POWER+NEW+XK8+SPORTS+CAR-a018377844 |title=Jaguar's First Ever V8 Engine To Power XK8 Sports Car |access-date=8 January 2011 |archive-date=14 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141214091333/http://www.thefreelibrary.com/JAGUAR%27S+FIRST-EVER+V8+ENGINE+TO+POWER+NEW+XK8+SPORTS+CAR-a018377844 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atomicfrog.com/mirrors/www.blueovalnews.com/jaguar_aj_engine.htm |title=All-New, World-Class Jaguar Production Facility |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110327104806/http://www.atomicfrog.com/mirrors/www.blueovalnews.com/jaguar_aj_engine.htm |archive-date=2011-03-27 }}</ref>
