Hello, I’m clutching at straws… my husband bought a XJ6 as a donor car to build a XK120. It was about 9 years ago, he took the engine out, the steering wheel and the grill off of the car, then sold everything else. The project never happened, I’m trying to sell the engine however I don’t know what year it is… I see 8L180012-H stamped on a bit of the engine, can that help me any? Many thanks to anyone that can provide any guidance. Kind regards, Pauline
Good evening Pauline,
sad to hear the project wasn’t to happen! Anyway, welcome aboard!
As for the engine: unfortunately, there are no straightforward lists I’m aware of. The only thing close is a website <xj6data.org>. They list 8L188636H as of 1985. So yours might be somewhat earlier.
Good luck
