Default V8 XJ engine help

Hi,
I am attempting to fit a V8 XJ engine into a Mark 2.
Has anybody got any experience in doing this ?
Any assistance ( technical help, pitfalls, shortcuts, etc.) that can be given will be appreciated.
Best Regards
Bill Craig

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.


I've read of a few V8 transplants into the MK2. very brave!

Welcome.

A guy here slotted a V12 into a MK2 many many years ago, that was BRAVE.

I believe it is still motoring around somewhere. Never seen it, only know of it.

The V8 should be a test of many talents, but very do-able.

Hello, Bill,
Heart transplants can be So much fun -- when they're Finished!
I wish you success.
