😀 Hello, my first post. I have a 1998 XKR with a very tired 4.0 ltr engine and faulty transmission. I can buy a 4.2 ltr complete with transmission and engine control module from a later XKR. Has anyone out there actually made this swap? It seems that physically it shouldn't be difficult but I'm a bit concerned about the electronic/electrical interface. I would really value advice from anyone that has actually done this swap. It often seems that when the going gets tough a lot of the experts revise their advice to " well a bloke told me" or " I heard of a bloke that did it". Sorry but I really just need to hear from anybody that has actually done it. Many Thanks.
