Default 1996 XJR swap into 1990 XJ40

Locally, there is a 1996 XJR that is being parted out.

I would like to pick up some of the components and install them into my 4.0l XJ40.

Outside of the engine and Tranny, what other items should I get?

How simple will it be to have someone drop this in (they are both straight sixes, so one would think it would be "mildly" simple.)

Thanks,

Plum

It would be less expensive to buy a running XJR than to adapt one to your current vehicle.

I was afraid of that answer.

Sorry about that, but it's the truth. All engine management, fuel injection, trans and ecu's would need to be changed. (Yikes!) Crazy amount of work to do the job.
