Question for the brain trust!

XK-Engine
1

Before I put this on eBay for sale, I wanted to confirm what vintage engine it came off of: if memory serves, this came off of a 140/150/early E, due to the end milled clearance dimples for the holddown nuts. The casting number is C7185.

TIA!

Well, these are clearly XK140. Does this help?
