There must be kits available from the states, supposedly, Jeeps are quite popular over there :roll:

Try http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/xj_swap.htm for a good description. I have read of the ls1 out of the HSV COmmodores being put into an XJ in the US. A LS1 is about 100lbs lighter than the 4.0l straight 6. Alloy vs Steel
