No point, running in takes 100 miles or so. Just warm it up, then drive it hard but smoothly making sure the engine doesn't labour and you use most of the rev range.

if its 4wd then your best of buying a 2.9xr
that way you dont have to change the rear diffs as there the same
you dont have to modify the tunnel unless your using the skyline box
and the front chassis legs dont have to be modded
other than that if you use the std box then everything will drop straight in no messing
the loom is easy aswell as it will mainly plug up bar a couple of wires
obviously tank and fuel pump change maybe duno what the 2.9 internal pump will flow
really easy conversion though if you have a 4wd shell unless you dont mind making the mods to the std 2wd shell

My old mans got a 2.9 XR4x4 he's owned since about 1991, its just garaged now as he doesnt use it, its in pretty good nick, just wants rid of it now as he's selling the house and wants to put the jag in the garage over winter, let me know if its any use to you, he wont want hardly anything for it, maybe Ł150 at most, I put it thorugh its last MOT and it needed an an exhaust and the handbrake cable adjusting probably do with a new cable now though as its adjusted right up but it struggles to hold it.
