I don't know the technical aspects but my tame mechanic buys XF's cheap and replaces the engine in D3 and/or D4's with them. It is not difficult apparently if you know what you are doing, you have to move ancillaries about but reportedly all the parts required are readily available and XF's are worth far less than a 2ndhand D3 engine on its own. So can be done.

I need to speak to him about getting steering replaced so will ask a bit more info.
