Do as you like, of course. But you have a rather rare and desirable model. Personally I'd leave it alone.
It'll be much easier to buy a V12 XJS. Make it a 6.0 litre for some real ooomph.
If you go ahead with the swap you'll want a donor car on hand...or very easy and long term access to one....so you can get EVERY part you'll need, right down to the wires, bolts, brackets, cables,instruments, fuel pipes, etc. Actually installing the engine will be the easy part. Sorting the (seemingly endless number of) details is what takes the time and effort.
