Hi mark.
I'm pretty new to this myself, EV conversions that is always been a petrol head and done more than my fair share of mod's and engine conversions preferably a V8
but it does seem that the older the better especially here in the uk I'm in the process of converting a 2002 Mini Cooper S using a leaf inverter / motor and 530e BMW batteries
and so far I've been stuck in front of a computer ensuring that I can get the engine management, abs, charging, and other warning lights to work properly once I remove the ECU
because most of those are an mot fail so pre can-bus would be a lot easier though an XJ40 is a heavy old lump
Good luck
Andy.
