there are many many threads on engine swaps.
in short - you cannot swap in a different engine because mating it to the electronics is next to impossible.
you may be able to use the supercharger pieces and move them onto a new LS engine - but it's certainly no direct bolt-on.

They were similar. The block was the same, except the LS used an all-aluminum version. I'm pretty sure that was the closest similarity they shared. Obviously displacement changed ever so slightly (the jag ajv8 was a 4.0L). I would be surprised if the heads were even similar.
If you think they are identical engines, they are not. It's not a direct swap.
