Ive already sold this Jag....... it was a real easy swap! No computer changes. I used the original electronics and just swaped a few parts over from one engine to another....weekend job and no special tools but the engine lift.
Now you all know, dont say jag at the parts store say FORD..cheaper parts and its in stock.
I will check this post from time to time,if you have any Q's.

shheeeezz 27K views and still going strong!! , I still see many interested in the swap.. yes i used the same trans(automatic), no fiddling with computers .
if you know the difference between a screwdriver and a openend this is very doable.. this was pretty easy. Basic tools a floor jack & a hoist ,take your time and your good to go.

>He needed an engine and found a 3.0 liter
Yes, that was it, I believe. There were more Lincolns sold in the USA so used engines were more plentiful (and cheaper, to boot).

I did this because my 2.5 was shot, found a cheaper route with a 3.0, i really wasn't trying to build a race car, i just wanted my car back on the road again.
also i would think the jag/ls is the same power gains IMHO.. both engines is made by FORD. as you look at the pictures you will have to swap the intake's and such the block is identical . also keep in mind this was when ford and jag was one, so a jaguar x-type and the s-type in those years was a FORD, sad but O-well, also Lincoln LS is a rear wheel drive car engine wasn't sidewards like the xtype thats prob. where your thinking of power gains or lost.. Drop a rearwheel drive engine in a xtype where you have the engine and trans sidewards right up to the wheels..to me you'll get more zap out of that rearwheel drive engine, but thats just my thoughts
but anyways no arguments here, everyone has there own opinion's... this thread was made to help others ...
good luck guys!!

From The TOP..?
Willie, yours is the first reference I have found which said the X Type engine can be removed from the top. I've got an '03 with a toasted motor (ran outa coolant) and a replacement engine on the way. I've been dreading the swap because of the "entire power plant comes out the bottom" deal. Would like to establish comm with you to ask a few simple questions.

actually you are incorrect in this case. Since he used a 04 LS 3.0 he has just as much hp as an 04 x type 3.0. they are rated at the same, give or take a few HP depending on where you et your info. The S type 3.0 however is rated at about 10hp more than the X type and LS 3.0. no clue why. The 2000 to 2002 LS 3.0 are rated at about 10hp les than the 03 and up LS 3.0. honestly I bet the difference in HP between the LS, X and S 3.0 is ECU tuning, and maybe the RWD exhaust manifolds. Either way, as long as you stay away from the 02 and older LS 3.0 you wouldn't really noticed a difference in power once its in an x type.

I miss understood Zalami's comment earlier. I thought he wondered why go from a 3.0 to another 3.0. I pointed out that it was from a 2.5L to a 3.0. Ha ha. my bad.
In any case, everyone likes the idea of more horsesand as these cars age people will start rebuilding them bc it's a Jag. You could rebuild a Toyota if you like at the same expense and be driving an unremarkable car. I love Toyota cars and trucks, grew up on them, but you get the point.
When I'm ready to rebuild at around 200K (I have 130K now), I hope there are examples of upping the horse power significantly and strengthening the transfer case to match. I've heard talk of a WRX set up and so on. I'll drive a Jag til the wheels fall off and then rebuild it into a bionic X Type. Rawr!

I figure around 200K, maybe further down the road, the head gasket will breach or some other catastrophic failure will occur. At that point I'd buy another car and make my X into a project car.
With all the work you've put into your custom suspension alone, I imagine you would want to rebuild and keep your X.
Zalami started a thread on this very subject.

It's had a lot of input from ppl here but not everyone was optimistic. You'd need to make deep mods like welding and cutting metal, different TC, custom brackets, and probably a different ECU and motor.
Lots of unknowns until someone takes it on and maybe a significant outlay of cash, but if it's a project car you could take your time, give yourself 9 months to a year.
The point is to have a monster Mustang/Charger/Camaro eating X Type, not to just buy another car that already has more power.

its a easy project my friends dont stress about it just do it..., think about this.... do you have a pic a parts/pick and pulls near you?? how often do you see Jaguars xtypes in there??NONE! for ford Lincoln's LS, the last time i was there i seen 6 in a row.. try and go to autozone and get parts for your Jag xtype, if they have them in stock your lucky.. but then say that same part needed for your Lincoln LS , i bet they have that part in stock and its cheaper.... go figure ! but thats life..... so anyway for that question above asking about the Jag engine coming out from the top, yes sir its done and it was easy to do.. but anyway have fun with the swaps!!!
and yes to clear things up ,my car was a 2.5 originally.
