Unhappy low idle speed and engine is knocking

my engine idle speed was only at 500rpm, it was knocking and cannot maintain the rpm when i kick the gas pedal. if the engine was not good already can i fit pajero engine into the xj gearbox?

So you think 500rpm is low? check out this low idle

How are the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor?
