Default Found my XJ8 for LS swap

Just bought a 2002 XJ8 off a CoPart lot for my LS swap project.
No rust and very good paint. Per CarFax no accidents. Interior a little worn, but no rips except center counsel arm rest.
156k miles, but started right up with no CEL and moved forward and back. Don't know if any market for an engine and tranny with that many miles, but will post here once removed.

Is this part of the reason you asked about how much the engine weighs in the other thread?

Yes. Found one source that said 441lbs. Guessing that is long block and not fully dressed. All kinds of LS based engines. Some are iron blocks that adds 100 lbs. Iron block much less $. The ZF tranny is about 60 lbs more than the GM. Want similar weight to keep current weight distribution.
