Here's the situation: I work at a company that does a lot of business with Ford, GM, Chrysler, etc. I may have an opportunity to get a new Jag engine for next to nothing if not nothing and installed for about the same price. My question is has anyone done it, if not, can it be done, and what are the complications? Please let me know!! -Brian -Brian 2002 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 ATX - British Racing Green (two-tone) - 44,000+ miles Former owner of a black '99 SE Sport Duratec ATX - 107,000+ miles
