Default RE: XJ8 engine swap questions

Your 98 model should have the VVT's in the timing cover and the later motors will have them in the valve covers. If these are in different places, it's the kiss of death on the swap.

You may also find a difference in the number of oil pressure sensors by the oil filter. Check those to see if they have one or two sensors and if it matches what you have.

If all these match up, swap away! (but I doubt it[:@])
