I have an xj6 4.2 and I’m interested in having a different engine in there.
Does anyone know how much it usually cost for a basic v8 swap

So many variables!!
Starting with your location. Local costs and emmision requirements. IN CA, high and strict.
Which engine, used or crate? Shop in your area for a figure. I’d guess a median around here of 2500.
A swap kit. About three sources. Around 1000
Harness Buy at about 700 or remake the ones you have…
Drive shaft alteration, muffler install.
Fluids, belts, hoses.
When I built mine, I started with a list of costs. Abandoned!!!
But, it turned out just great. I learned a lot, got tons of help. Plus a great sense of accomplishment.
