I’m getting a 3.8L MK10 engine assembled to put on the bay and I
noticed it has the double Vee grooved pulleys. Is this correct for
this engine? The block is dated 1963.

Yep, they didn’t change them until later (not sure exactly when), I have a 1964 MKII 3.8 and it has the double groove pulleys.

Thanks Gary, I wondered because I have a XJ S1 engine out back and
it has the single pulleys.

The “Double Groove” Pulleys were used on the Mark II from, approximately, 1963 to 1967 unless it had Dealer-Installed A/C. The E-Type used them fro the S1, 3.8 and 4.2 since almost all had no A/C.
Not sure about the Mark X, but most had A/C and would have had a one groove pulley.
