Engine Swap
Hi everyone,
I am considering swapping my XE R-Sport 2.0 Diesel RWD engine for an F-type R V8 but so far, Jaguar representatives cannot answer me whether it is doable or
not.
I did read that the new XE P300 has the F-type V6 engine so I thought, why not keeping my XE and change only the engine. Does anyone know anything about swapping them two engines?

Hi.
You can get a v8 into an XE, and JLR will be delighted to sell you a brand new project 8, for about $200,000!!
Unfortunately, the new P 300 is only 4 cylinders and JLR has dropped the v6 for all XE models. I would think your cheapest way to more power would be to trade your 2.0d for a pre 2019 XE-S with 380 bhp and tuneable to at least 420+

So much engineering was done the Project 8, that if you bought one at sticker it's quite a deal. If money is a consideration, I would trade in the 2.0 for the V6 and go from there. Would be less expensive and actually work.

Hi Keith100,
To be honest, I already knew this all and been following the project 8 ever since the first rumours came out probably 2-3 yrs ago. The prices in Europe are way higher than those in the US (£150k; €200k - €240 in Germany and just over €300k in Portugal).
Also aware of the P300 engine and the fact that JLR dropped the 2018 XE S 380bhp model due to low sales caused by EU emissions policy. Been trying to sell mine and get my hands on the 2018 XE S 380bhp but it is extremely hard to resell diesel engines in the EU ever since they've announced a "deadline" for those engines. Even spoken to Arden to get that engine and design upgrade already and can easily get 450bhp+ on it but thanks for your reply.
