I was offered to buy a 1998 XK8 with a damaged engine. I am not sure what exactly is wrong but the engine is not cranking or turning at all, and the seller's mechanic said that the car will need a new motor.

My question is, would it be possible to swap that jag engine with a Chevy or Ford V8 engine? I know that people had luck swaping the XJ6 engines, nutI am not sure about the XK8.

Any ideas?
