Default Jaguar 4.2 l supercharger on the disco 2 v8 4.0 l possible?

So I own a 1999 Disco 2 v8 and i was wondering if a supercharger could be installed on its engine.Since there really is no support on mods like these for the disco i was thinking if a supercharger from jaguar s-type or from a range rover could suffice.

Jag V8 setup vs GM/Rover 215 V8 = two totally different animals. There was a supercharger which worked on the older 3.9/4.2L engines, but I haven't seen anything for the Bosch engines.

Best is right - the Jag supercharger will not fit without fabrication. There was a company, Cameron Concepts I think, that had a supercharger setup for the GEMS and Bosch P38 models. I've seen pictures of it, but it is rare. I would imagine the Bosch P38 ones could fit a D2. If you are after more power, I think the LS swap would be a better option.

There's someone local to me with a supercharged p38 but I haven't seen it in person or know much about it. At the elevations in CO I could see some real benefit from boost.
