2015 LS engines

Does the conversion kits handle the 2015 and newer LS engines with the 8 speed transmissions and is there a wiring harness adapter that mates to the original 1997-2006 Jaguar XK8 and XKR models so the factory gauge cluster works.

The 2015 and newer engines are Gen 5 LT engines, not LS engines. There are things very different, so the LS kits won't work.

Are you talking about the truck motors?

I know less than zero about jag conversions but I've always heard to talk to JTR, "Jaguars-That-Run", with conversion info for Jags. I know they do older Jags but they may do newer as well, I'm not sure.

I would think, you could find innovative/creative ways to tap the Jag harness sensor wiring into the LS sending units....again, creatively....
