anythings possible, no doubt you'd need a gearbox bellhousing adaptor if planning on keeping the disco box, engine mount modifications, fuel system may need upgrading depending on pressure needed at the injectors, spigot bush adaptor, custom spigot bush or crank modifications and you'd also need a new cooling system as I doubt the rover one would suffice
May also need to modify shock mounts and engine bay metal work depending on the size

Just checked it should fit. Whats the xjs's power? Might tip a standard disco if its too powerful.

What about installing a Jaguar V8 4.0 or 4.2. Loads of torque, loads of power, very economical (relatively).
Loads available cheaply toooo.
