Bit of an "oops" visible here. Fingers crossed diff didn't get damaged when wheel popped. Expecting steering rack and RF suspension to be toast too.

This is directly under the right rear seat bolt. Poked it and opened it up to get that captive nut out. Soft area visible next to it as well.

Seats from the 2000 XJR now in the 2001 XJR. Everything works, just more worn than I want for the LS-swap. Cushions are good, leather seat cover is a bit rough.

Goodies and upgrades from Texas Speed & Performance. Given I am local to then, it's a nice knowledge tidbit that my specific camshaft was actually machined on 10/17/23.

It is said that if one looks at cam bearings in LS engines, they will almost always be bad. Well, we looked and these are near perfect.

All buttoned up and with a proper 3-bolt cam gear instead of the DoD single bolt mechanism. Batwing tensioner replaces the old DoD setup with its plastic guides.
