Need to replace engine 2001 Jaguar XK8 can I replace with newer engine
My 2001 Xk8 has three dead cylinders after previous owner ran very hot, along with it having 169 K miles. looking at used engines all the sites ask engine number to replace with same number series out of a 2001 . Wouldn't it be more logical to buy a 2003 4.0 that would have upgraded tensioners? Were there any changes in that motor that would not allow me to install 2003 motorin my 2001 XK8 ?

I have just bough a 2001 XKR with a bad motor. I have not gone into the motor yet to see what is wrong, but I know it is something very bad. Anyway, I too would like to swap out for a newer motor. Can a 4.2 engine be swapped If you change out the ecm too. Will the ecm connect to the rest of the wiring? I read the 4.0 to 4.2 info, but could not figure if the supercharger from the 4.0 engine will work on the 4.2 block. thanks for any help. steve
