The British transmission industry was well and truly dead by the time the XK8 came along. I believe all V8 Jags use 722.x transmissions. If you're looking for a powerful, modern engine, a supercharged AJ8 from an XKRS would be an interesting choice for 400+ HP. Be aware that the cylinder liners are not repairable, and there were timing chain tensioner issues on early engines.
