To those doing an engine swap in Cali,

Hello. I'm considering doing an engine swap on a 2000 XJ8. I want to install a 2015+ LS1 Camaro engine in it. Would $25,000 be enough for the swap? Furthermore, how hard is it to get the car legally approved to drive in Cali?

Looks like you'll have to talk to CARB for this project.

I know, I just like to add a little bit of humor when I can. 😁

pcolapacker is already doing his LS swap. I’m sure you’ve already seen his posts about it.
