Default Supercharger interchangeability

Hello everyone.

Will a supercharger from a 2003 S-Type R 4.2 fit my 2001 XJR?

I've done some searching and I cannot find a definitive answer.

Thank you for your help!

Here is the answer to this question:

It will fit, but the bearings from the 4.2 stick out compared to the 4.0. So you need to machine way some of the material (3mm at least iirc,) from the intake elbow and you need to use the 4,2 gasket

Thanks to Avos for this info.
