>Are you asking seriously?
Now, be nice, we want to be kind to our little, Ford-related, brothers...
Quick answer for the X-Type crowd, 3.0 V6 is the same as the X-Type and is a modified Ford unit, V8 is a Jaguar/Ford developed engine.
Prior to the '03 (?) redesign the transmissions were Ford, after that, the V8s at least got a ZF transmission.
But that's actually a good question, what about the transmissions for the S-Type 3.0 engines. Are they the same as the V8s?
And for the <somewhat> less technically informed members of this list, you should visit the X-Type list sometime. Due to the "design" issues of that car, that list has a long, long, history of very deep technical analysis and reflection on Jaguar mechanical design and implementation.

Then you will be restricting yourself to a pre-2003 S-type. Not a choice I'd make.

Growler emblem on grill not bonnet
Dash design a sleeker version of that on an XJ, as opposed to the awful Ford dash
Electronic Parking Brake
ZF 6 speed auto box
Lighter yet stiffer body/chassis
Several suspension mods
Seating as per 3003 XJ
etc etc etc..........
No comparisons :-)
