    XJ400? easier to buy a 550 or 600 motor and bolt it in assuming they run the same frame

    If it's the 4-cylinder XJ400 (4G0) they are essentially the same as the 550 Secas.

    An engine swap would be much easier.

    Get a load of THIS

    "Wing cut" and balanced crank, higher compression, bigger and different carbs, go get an E-Bay 600 motor to start with.
