Is 99 V8 GM engine?
Some guy is selling 99 XJ8 for 2500 with seized engine. I would offer him 1500-2000 if I knew that engine parts are cheap. As far as I know GM transmission is used in Jaguars, how about engines?

Not correct on either count. ZF transmissions are used in all XJ/XK models, the -R models getting an upgraded AMG-Spec ZF tranny.
The engine is an AJV8 which is entirely Jaguar's own design. Sorry, you're really misinformed bro.

Car 5,
I wasn't busting your stones, Jaguar used to use transmissions (until '97), A/C compressors, EGR valves, window lift motors, all sorts of GM components back in the day...it just hadn't dawned on me that I hadn't come across any items on XJ8, until you raised the point.

AJV8 Is a lot of jaguar.. but the base is really the ford/lincoln modular V8. The same basic block is used on the Lincoln LS Sedan.

All X308s have ZF built trannys, just different models. It's used in the E-Class AMG and the Magnum R/T. I don't know much about the base block but if you say it's mostly Ford I'll go with that.
