So I have talked to Lysholm, Kenne Bell and Vortech. No one seems to be interested enough in the 4.7L to do aftermarket mods such as this. Seems like they are steering away mainly from re-flashing the ECU especially when 4WD systems are involved.

Well dude this is half the fun bro. Making stuff work and fit that is not made for it will make it a one off mod. If you want one get one thats close and invent the rest to make it fit. I think finding one to fit will be easy. The hard part dealing with the computer that will be the challenge.Originally Posted by strokeZ
yeah unfortunately today's vehicle electronics make it tough to do this type of mod. But I agree it is half the fun!

maybe some of the guys who have programmers can let you know what kind of option it comes with. Is there anything in there that can be set to handle a supercharger.
From my limited experience there are all sorts of things to worry about. Not only the ECU programming, but you should not go more than 90% of the fuel pump more than 95% of the time. Also I would need proper sizing of larger fuel injectors to handle the increase demand That plus intake issues gets it pretty messy pretty fast. Maybe there are more bolt on options that I can do before this type of project.

I wonder if anyone makes headers for the 4.7 liter enigne that could be modded to work on the XK.

I think you need to figure out where else this engine is being used and cross reference the parts you need that might help.
