It may be possible but its actually illegal to put an older motor in a newer car

it's very possible, my dad put a steel head XC falcon motor into his XF ute, it fitted straight in with no exhaust changes or nothing, but you have to use all the manifolds that are already on the XB, the alloy head ones are different, other than that it's the same as putting another XF motor in, just a straight swap.

Xb's heads are non cross flow, eg: Intake and exhaust are on the same side of the engine. Was not till XC did they start using the cross flow head. If you can't push more power from your XF compared to an XB, I'll give ford's away!

Less emission hassles with a clevo if you convert to LPG.
Buy a wrecked XD/E and you will get a lot of parts you'd need.
