XK - Crossbeam.pdf
The link XKRacer posted looks very good value. Almost certainly work out lower cost and a more reliable solution than sleeving the existing crossbeam. You'd probably have to factor in new bushes and rear mounts.
Swapping the beams is definitely a DIY task.

Yes you can do it DIY at the end of the day any job can be if you have the skills and the tools.
I can tell you, you will need to make up a special hoist/brace coming off the strut towers to support the engine, you will also need the car at least 3 feet off the ground, ideally a ramp will save you massive head aches, especially if the V mounts have turned to crap and the bolts have rusted in which is very common.
Whilst you have it all out, you may as well change every bush and ball joint, if you going to do it, do it properly
Good luck
