V6 will fit from the Jag or LS, but the V8 absolutely won't.

I spoke to someone who KNOWS.

And in any case the conversion to an LS type 3L is a HUGE job. It has the wrong timing cover, the coolant water comes out the wrong end of the engine, it needs to have an electric water pump fitted, it doesn't share the same motor mounts, the intake manifold barely fits under the hood, the fuel system need to be modified, the oil pan needs to be swapped and the ECU needs to be spliced in. And that's just what I remeber being told. When I heard about it I almost crapped my pants.

Look at spending at LEAST $3-4K doing this!!!
