Thank you for your post *****. I have an 04 X-type 3.0, and I'm trying to find an LS engine that's compatible with my x-type. I'm having a hard time finding info out there and was hoping you could tell me what else I should look for, aside from just an LS 3.0 engine? I found some 3.0 LS engines out there, but I'm not finding any cross reference information and was hoping you can help out. Will the LS work for an 04 X-type, and what years?

 

Did u ever finish this

 

im a new member, and very unfamiliar with the similarities between each model of jag. would this exact conversion work on a x-type 03 2.5l??? my engine blew and seized.. and im working with the least amount of cash possible. but if i can do this in my 03.. i get to keep this car

 

The original poster did it to an '02 2.5 and there was no change to the engines in those years. Hell, they didn't change a whole lot other than the transfer case the entire model run of the cars. So, if you would want to take on what the original poster did, knock yourself out.

There is/was a member on here called Dr. Dome who parted out X-Types. Haven't seen much of him on here the last few months, but you might want to contact him and see if he would have a used engine.

Good luck!

 

Either remove the engine from top or bottom we still have to remove every things that attach to the engine, but I agree to remove from the top is easier and don't have to deal with front sub frame realignment and jack the front end up so high

 

I think I'm in need of a tensioner pulley. ( driver side w/ waterpump). Do you have this?

 

I have a X-Type 2.5 I just purchased it has a blown head gasket here in Kansas City luckily we have a few self service salvage yards and this weekend is 50% decided to go with a 3.0 engine swap my question is does it have to be a Lincoln witch engines have V.A.T I have found a few duratec engine i found a nice Ford 500 low miles its a 06???
does anyone know where I can find a reference guide

 

Just to settle discussion herein about horsepower, and yes if changing from 2.5 to 3.0, changing the ECU will influence performance because of tuning, trims, etc., differences.

 

@Clayton =

A more powerful 232 hp version for the 2000-’05 Lincoln LS, Jaguar AJ30 and S-Type, Mazda 6 and MPV, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred, Mercury Montego and Ford Freestyle with direct-acting mechanical bucket tappets.

• A Variable Valve Timing (VVT) with electronic throttle control for the 2003-’06 Lincoln LS, 2003-’06 Jaguar X-Type applications, 2006 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr, and 2009 Ford Escape.

On the 2009 Fusion, a new type of VVT system called “Cam Torque Actuated” (CTA) is used to advance cam timing.
The cam phaser generates its own internal pressure rather than relying on oil pump pressure to move the cams. The result is more advance (47°) and better fuel economy

 

did another same swap last August for a coworker .... did not change ECU's... He's loving it and my pockets loved it tooo

 

 

why is everyone talking about LS swap why is the Lincoln . I am getting ready to do with me swap this week I just bought a motor out of a 08 Ford Fusion 3.0 with vvt any reson why it wouldn't work question is my car is a manual transmission 2.5 liter I'm going to switch 3.0 is the computer compatible with 3.0 because of that transmission because the obviously going to be out of a vehicle with an automatic transmission

 

>any reson why it wouldn't work

Will any of the sensors be recognized by the Jaguar network and the ECU?
==================================================

Past A: '05 X-Type 3.0/auto Jaguar Racing Green

 

I'm getting ready to do th 2.5-3.0 swap myself
why do Lincoln LS motor there are a ton of 3.0 with Vvt timing Ford Ford Taurus and a few other does anyone know if it has to be in Lincoln and why

 

 

 

 

Appetite for destruction, Lol. That low profile Snap On swivel looks pretty handy. I've had the upper and lower manifolds off my car for a couple days to R&R the coil packs and plugs, and I found the knock sensor down there, but couldn't get it out to replace it bc of that elbow that runs over the top of it. The one you are swapping over to the LS motor. The flange having two bolts, one you can see, and the other that looks about impossible to get to. I didn't want to drain the coolant and get into tearing apart that steel water line from the water pump to the engine, so I left the old knock sensor in place and cut the harness off. Then I installed the new KS about 6" away from the old one. Was able to do this bc there is a bolt there that appears to hold a cover plate on the block. Anyway, a little off topic to what you're doing, but wanted to chime in. I didn't think of it, found this tip on the forums.
