I doubt very much that the XF panels will fit onto an XH. The whole front frame of an XH is more like an EF/EL & is nothing like an XF. Steering & suspension for example are totally different.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Dr Terry is dead right. A mate of mine wanted to go the other way and fit an XH front to his XD sedan. Never got done as it was A/ too hard B/ The XD is now worth more as an original V8 Fairmont Ghia.
Finding an XG is a better bet as they are basically an XF with an EB2/ED 4 litre engine fitted & a different grille to identify it as an XG.
FWIW the front sheet metal is a bolt on exchange between any XD XE XF XG or their equivalent Fairlane and LTD variants.

XF and XE front clip will bolt up to an XH with no modifications to the XH Body structure
