Hello, looking for some advice and opinion here.

Had an idea after drinking a beer (yep I know) to take my 2.2d engine out as it’s got 300k kms on it and replace it with a fully refurbished 3.0v6 from jaguar.

What do you think would need to be changed to accommodate the bigger engine?

I expect that exhaust but also perhaps gearbox too?

Might sound mad but i got this car and invested in it 8 years ago, to make it the same color inside and out as my grandfathers mark 2 and so I really don’t want to part with this car.

Incidentally all the bushings and suspension check out great and the car has been powder coated underneath.. fortunately rust on cars isn’t a problem in this part of the world thanks to humidity and seasonal weather.

 

Nice idea but cannot be done without huge expense, not enough time to list all the changes/modifications/updates that would need to be made!
Much easier and cheaper to find a comparable XF with the 3.0D and the desired colours inside and out.
