I have been watching for a cheap XK for a while. There is a company down in SoCal then sells a kit to drop an LS-series motor and a T56 (I think, maybe a T6060) in an XK. It actually runs the LS fuel injection with a bridge to connect the engine functions to the car's CANBUS, so it's more or less plug & play. IIRC, it's a $2k kit on top of a $1k-$2k drivetrain and then you have a pretty much bulletproof XK - really, the only things holding the XK back are it's lame auto and many years of bad timing chain design. With an LS2 and a T56, you have a damn near perfect GT.
