Default Engine swap

Are there subtle differences that will make for headaches if replacing a '99 XJR engine with a 2003 XJR100 Engine? or any other model year? (ex. '98 engine in a '99 etc...)

I've never done a heart transplant so hoping some experienced surgeons can chime in

The 1999 XJR is AJ26 so be aware of that fact.

The Supercharged 4.0 AJ27 was offered to the North American market for the 2000MY.
The XJR 4.0 for 1998/99 is AJ26. The Normally Aspirated 1999 is AJ27.

CONFUSED????(it takes a while to untangle the sequence)
