Subject: [E-Type] H*elp Needed to Identify Early Jaguar Engine
I have been on the list for a fairly short time and have been amazed at
the
amount of knowledge and skills demonstrated by the listers.I have had a disassembled 3 1/2 litre Jaguar engine in my garage for
many years. As usual, the PO didn’t know what it came out of. It appears
to be a very early engine as it has the “smooth” valve covers (no bolt
holes over the cam sprocket
area) and the cast aluminum oil sump has the oil sender provision.The engine # stamped on the block is 4449-8, casting # C4820. The
number stamped on the head is W4449-8, the casting # on the head is
XK774 C2242 (the last 2 is not distinct). Can anyone identify this
engine for me?Thanks,
Larry
