I have been able to mount it inside the engine bay and have attached the drive chain, I am using the 1997 wiring loom and ecm/computer and instrument panel. Maybe I might be able to reprogram the computer to avoid it going into failsafe/limp mode? Or would I have to install all the 1997 sensors and modules to the computer? Is this a modification that is possible? Please Help!!

I have fitted a XKR engine into a XJS before with a manual box but that was quite some years ago, but what I did was to throw away the ecu and use a stand alone system, doing this kind of swap today is much easier and cheaper. There are many companies out there nowadays which can do an ecu for you, your biggest issue will be your tranny, don't use the XK8 box but go more old school or even a manual if you wish.
Shame you don't have diesel Jags over there as the manual box from the twin turbo V6 diesel bolts straight on
