5.0 liter origins-Ford?
Today's NTimes had a nice article about the new XJ8. However, the article said the new 5.0 AJ-V8 Gen III is sourced from Ford (!). I don't have a problem with that, but it is it true? Or is this so-called Gen III actually an evolution of the venerable AJ-V8.
FYI-I have a '04 XJ-8...just passed 160K miles and running strong.

Re the engine - I believe the bottom end of the v8 can trace it's roots back to the Ford/Lincoln v8.

Remember that Jaguar is now owned by Tata Motors of India, and as the new XJ was developed before their ownership, the engines have to come from Ford for the foreseeable future, until Tata can develop their own. Don't forget that the V6 diesel engine development was shared with other car manufacturers
