Hello everyone!
I signed up here to hopefully be able to answer some questions I have regarding a project of mine as well as share in everyone's interest of cars British.
I have begun a project which started out several years ago to build my own custom 50s style sports car. I will continue to share more later, but have a question for now.
For my project car I have come by a 3.8 engine and would like to know a bit more about it, specifically the head.
On the front of the head is stamped: 7D50595-8
On the rear of the head is stamped: GB552
As of yet I haven't been able to decern what this may have been out of so any help would be greatly appreciated.
The block is from a 1963 XKE, has triple Webers and runs VERY strong. I had it dynoed and it was making 309 bhp at the flywheel. It came out of a Knobbly Lister, but that doesn't say much as I know it isn't the original motor to the car.
Anyone with insight to further details will be kindly thanked.
Scott
