IMHO you are better off with the newer engine, as it's guaranteed to have the slotted block that eliminated block cracking and subsequent head gasket failure. You also have a young engine so won't need to do much if any overhaul work for some time at least.
The XK engine carried on in production for some time after the Series 3 saloons ceased production in 1987, as it was used in an armoured car for the British Army. At some point these were replaced by something else and a load of spare XK engines became available to the "trade".
