Default I came her for vital info

I’m a New by to this site.

I’ve own a 2003, XJ8 3.6 for just over a year and I’ve fallen in love with car.

I am thinking about putting a 4.2 supercharged engine in it.

Can some point me to thread that covers what required?

is it a simple as taking out the 3.6 and dropping in the 4.2 with the ECU?

im opting to replace my engine rather than buy a XJR because I’ve built trust that I have a solid car.

Hello, Michael,
Trust is a pretty good reason to re-vamp your current car as opposed to acquire another one you have no real idea of history etc.
I wish you success.
