Ford i6 into Jag?

Anyone heard of this being done before? Just an idea I'm toying with, I have a sweet running 4.0MPFI with 4 speed auto out of an EL, just sitting around looking pretty, looms, ECUs, the lot, and the possibility of a very cheap XJ6 with a very shagged 4.2 motor.



NO... not at all interested in spending a couple of grand copying the oh so tired textbook and ramming a 308 or 350 into it, so let's not go there 😛



The motors seem, outwardly, similar in size and shape. I'm thinking if anything, the Ford donk might stand a couple of inches too tall, but could be just an illusion. Naturally mountings would need to be fabricated. Just wondering if anyone knows of the transplant being done (or tried) anywhere before?
