Engine Swap Question - '04 XJ8 <-- '04 XJR
This is my first post on the forum, and I am a proud new owner of a 2004 Jaguar XJ8, silver exterior and black interior. I purchased the car with 76,000 miles on it from an insurance auction in New York, the car was hurt in a small collision, it took the hit to the front right of the car and blew the driverside airbag.
Aside from the bodywork that is necessary the car runs and drives (the front suspension isn’t coming up though), but that isn’t my question. I noticed that when running I think it’s the lifters that are knocking or something else that is, but its deffinatly something significantly wrong, as I think the previuse owners did not take good care of the car, at all.
So, I have in my lot an ’04 XJR with 30,000 miles on it which was used to strip body parts off, but the engine and electronics are all there, and I was wondering if I could swap the engines out and if it would work.
If this is possible what would it entail?
