My original plan when I got the XJ was an SBC swap, until I realized how badass the I6 is.

Ls1 or ls2 in a xj/mj would be pretty cool

It's way more involved than that. Tons of work and rather expensive. My plans when I first bought my XJ were very different than the direction I ended up heading...which was sideways in a barrel roll fashion, and finally onto my roof.

It would not play nicely with the unibody, methinks. Frame stiffeners and cross bracing would be in order.
