This torque will be plenty usefull especialy in a heavy car which XW/XY is not (comparing it to the XA/XB/XC especialy the coupes). Another aproach would be (considering money is not a problem) is to get an SVO or Dart Windsor block & bore it .150 over, 4.2" stroker crank with rods & pistons to suit & you willl have 454ci stroker windsor....I think SVO makes a custom billet cranks with a 4.25" stroke which will bump the cubes up even more....This way you will not have any engineering issues because the XW's were fitted with windsors....put some nice big flow heads on it and you have a wolf in the sheeps skin....
