You could do a 6.1 SRT Hemi swap...I think there was a guy on jeepcommander.com that did one. A 3.0 CRD could definitely make 500 ft-lb with the right mods. The tranny would need to be upgraded to handle the torque though.

Yeah i would prefer to go with a Diesel, There is not many diesel XKs in the states and it would be awesome to have one.

I agree with JJ, go with an OEM CRD from a WK... I just did a quick Ebay search, looks like one can be had fairly cheap if you want to rebuild it. $1999. I saw another on there for like 3,900 but it was the CRD from a Liberty so I dont know if that would work but it could be worth the try.

Getting your hands on an export-to-Europe 3.0L CRD would be the cats a$$.
