Search for the original XK120 engine

I am restoring a XK120FHC, but do not have the original engine. Car was imported from the USA. I am looking for W3967-8. I realize it is a needle-in-the-haystack search, but maybe someone knows the whereabouts.

What part of the United States? I have a W3485 which is pretty close considering.

One good way would be to search the excellent website database of “Keeping track of every XK” constructed by a gent who also is a member of this forum (if you havent already done this)

I believe it is possible to search out by engine numbers alone

You would have to suspect that if you have no engine or a similar Jag replacement,
the original engine probably failed

Do you have a Jag engine in it now, if so what is its serial number ?

A browse search for W3967-8 on xkdata.com reveals W3967-8 was in 679200; it now has V1707-8.
Pretty close to my car 679187, probably went down the line the same week.

I am now the owner of XK120 679200. I am trying to track down the original engine W3967-8. Previous 2 owners do not know what happened.

Dan, I got the XK120FHC (679200) from Houston,Tx.

The previous owner does not know the history and the owner before was Dennis Collins…and he is hard to get a reply from
