Default Difference between headers on 2011 5.0 mustang and 2011 Jaguar XF

I’ve been doing a lot of research on the 2011 mustang 5.0 and the XF xfr headers and they are almost identical except for one flange is turned the opposite way. I am tempted to buy a set of long tubes off a mustang and try them out. About me I built several high horse power mustangs and turned a 2005 mustang roush into a 2011 gt500 using all the car wiring and interior and got it to work. So this isn’t nothing that scares me in anyway. I was just wondering has anyone else tried this? Also has anyone attempted to install a pulley off a gt500 onto this? I’ve got a extra one laying around and the blower part numbers are the same so since ford still was building the motor till 2019 it only makes sense for them to only change minor motor things to make it different. So far the timming comments are the same and can be purchased by mmr using billet pieces. I’m fairly new to the jag game but hip to ford so I think this could be interesting to find out. So far when doing the plugs the motors heads look a lot alike and doing what research is out where they basically are a minor redesigned modular 5.0 that ford uses. Unless I am completely wrong am I?

Here is the story from the mustang that I just sold to get into this game lol

This has been discussed and debated many times before, but put simply there are absolutely no common parts between the Jag AJ133 engine and the Mustang 5.0.
The Jag engine uses a fair number of FoMoCo stamped parts purely because it is built in the Ford engine plant in Bridgend in the UK.

Ford does still or did build the motor for tata up till this year so how could it be debunked or has it not tried been just discussed? I’m just asking like I said I’m new to this but my understanding is that ford had the drivetrain till 2019. Right

The first place to start would be to get your hands on an exhaust manifold gasket from each engine and see if they match up, as far as the ports and stud locations.

Not really right, no. Very misleading to put it that way.

The AJ133 (as the AJ33/34/...) is not a Ford-created engine other than they owned the company at the time.

Cambo's idea looks good and affordable.
