2002 xtype v6vrs fusion v6

Hi Kenneth,
Well that is one hell of a question for your first post!
I sincerely doubt it would be a direct transplant.
The Jaguar 3.0 V6 engine and the Fusion 3.0 V6 engine are both Duratec engines, but I have no idea if they are the same block?
If they are then engine mounts, transmission, starter motor (if flywheel is the same) and other accessories (AC, Alternator etc) could potentially move across.
What you need to understand is that although Jaguar was owned by Ford in this era, Jaguar's designers and engineers accessed Ford inventory with the view to cherry pick what they would incorporate into Jaguar vehicles. But the Jaguar engineering team took base items like engines and developed them further to instill their own refinements.
So even if it is the same block and perhaps the same bottom end (are they even the same stroke and bore), the top end will be Jaguar specific....heads, cams, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds etc.
The Fusion V6 is spec'ed at 221 HP whereas Jaguar's Duratec is 228 HP. The Jaguar V6 develops slightly higher torque but notably earlier: X-Type 283Nm @3000 RPM, versus Fusion 278Nm @4800 RPM.
So unless you are going to have both engines sitting on the floor and strip them down to see if you can possibly move all the top end and ancillaries over, I doubt you will have a running engine that can plug into the X-Type wiring harness yet alone stand a chance of being properly controlled by the ECU.
I guess the correct question might be.......what is wrong with your original engine that is prompting you to consider this?
