We used an XJ6 Jaguar in ours.
That was about fifteen years back now, and details are a bit hazy; but I do remember it as a virtual bolt-in swap.
I just went and had another look at it...and could see that there were no major dramas.
Very straightforward.
From memory it also lowered the car about three/three and a half inches.
And it gave us disc brakes...a definite plus!
