The problem with the Mk10 is that there’s more of them than people want to restore, a rough one isn’t worth going near. The cost to respray one is prodigious as are engine rebuild costs. Hence a fairly straight one with a bollocksed engine wouldn’t be expensive. 

When I lived in Australia for a year, over 25 years ago, I remember seeing off-the-shelf XJ conversion kits for 350 Chev motors.

There was plenty of love for the imported Jaguars, but there was little love for the engine reliability.  It seemed there was no interest in bothering spending time and money on them while a crate 350 was sitting on a pallet next door

I hope the Dinky Cadillac Superior has its rear tailgate.  Are you to keep that one?
