Got a pretty good update as my plans have changed.

Rather than chopping up my 62k mile XF, I have secured another XF that I will be swapping the AMG engine into.

I plan on starting a new thread titled "The Worlds Cheapest AMG V8 Crossfire". I'm calling it that because this is going to be a budget build, and will hopefully provide inspiration for guys that are on the fence about performing the swap.

This will not be a "hack job". Everything that is done will be done with quality and longevity in mind. Anyone that has seen the Tuned Port Injected 350 in my 91 S-10 would swear it came from the factory that way.

No need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a V8 swap. Everything needed is available for very reasonable prices on the used market.

The donor car for the swap is a 2004 Graphite Gray Automatic with 200k on the clock. I'm spending a whopping $800 for the car.

My wife is on board, she is excited it will be an automatic which means she will drive it too.

Stay tuned!!
