Looks good to me. The Goliath's stock stats (minus thrust/mass) are off the CF6, so that's fitting. The BJE's stats are the JT8D-219 (ditto), though I don't know what @Porkjet based the model off.
The model is based off the GE90-115B. Since reaching size2 diameter at 0.64x scale pretty much required taking the biggest thing we have as reference

BJE is just a happy mixture of whatever elements of other airliner engines seemed right, Panther model is based off the EJ-200 eurofighter engine

As Porkjet said Goliath should be modeled as GE90-115B, not another CF6 (we already have one from B9), also it would be fine to make copy of it and model it as Rolls-Royce Trent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Trent
The GE90 is way to big for stock KSP. If RO wants to make a rescale then that's fine, but AJE has to be designed to be stock part scale compatible. I was planning to modify the AJE CF6 to be something newer, possibly in the PW1000 or CFM LEAP series depending on what I can get data for.
Heh. The stock one has a 360kN static thrust anyway.
@Porkjet I find that particularly ironic since the EJ-200 is specifically known for not vectoring. :P
