Default '98 Jaguar XK8 with: '05 LS V8 5.3L Swap

Hello, it's an honor & pleasure to join this forum.
I have a '98 XK8 with a 2005 LS V8 5.3L Swap

It has a functional scoop with custom air intake and 18" Camaro Wheels. It has a few other minor custom fabrications like a wholly custom oil pan.

I wanted to ask if you could point me to any threads or give me any advice about fabricatimg a removable hard top for the XK8 Convertible (possibly from a XK8 hard top donor car).

Hello,
I've never heard of an XK8 conversion before, I'll bet that's One Sweet Ride!

Thanks! Yes Adam makes a conversion kit at JaguarSpecialists.com to make a LS V8 swap easier.

I had assumed there were many XK8 swaps?
