Yes, it really is a Ford engine...
Ya know that 90k plus price on the new Jaguars? Well, for the
money, ya get the same engine that kid down the block has in his
2011 35K Mustang. No, really.
A few weeks ago while at a Jag dealer getting my car serviced,
the service manager made the comment that the new 5 liter was
made by Ford. I found that difficult to believe: it may have been
this forum or another, but one poster said "no way, since the
stroke on the two engines differed by 2 mm." Big deal. The
truth is out there; go to www.automotivenews.com , search
for Jaguar and review the August 8, 2010 article that indicates
Tata could sell many more Jags if only they could get more
engines from Ford. It appears Tata has a contract with Ford
until 2019 for engines.
Makes me wonder what Jag actually pays for a Mustang engine.

The article appears to be August 23. It does not specify the engine size so far as I could see, although I have to say that web site is one of the very worst I have ever encountered.
I don't believe it IS the 5.0 engine. It'll be one of the others. Anyone know or can point out an authoritative article?

The Jag's DI 5 litre motor puts out a smidgin more power than the Stang's 5.0. I realize the Stang carries 200 lbs. less luggage than the 2010 Camaro SS, but the way it woops the Camaro in the 0-60 and the 1/4 is decisive; despite 1.2 litres less displacement. Ford did an amazing job re-engineering the Stang.

Hence the V8 Land Rovers and Range Rovers contain Jaguar V8's..That said, the only true Jag engine is the V8. All others are out sourced.
Here is a Popular Mechanics article about it...
