Default same engine block 4.0 XK8/XKR?
dear all

I do have a problem with 4.0 XKR block.

Can I use a XK8 block?

If so can crankshaft, rods or other internals be used as well?


Hope someone can help me.

Same EXCEPT pistons are dished for the XKR and there are two holes in the pan for an oil cooler on the XKR (and SOME XK8s) Also (hopefully obviously) there is no VVT on XKR cams.

Thank you dsnyder586!

Sounds good!

Just change the sup pan, keep the rods and change the pistons means I can use the entire short block, right?
