    In 1987 i purchased a 120 OTS M lhd from Oklahoma, USA

    with serial no 672165, eng. no W4907-8.

    The engine has a C-type head, at some point retrofitted,

    numbered G 3787 -8S.

    I register this 1955 XK 140 SE has a corresponding engine number.

    I would very much appreciate information on the head

    currently fitted to the 140. C-type head with corresponding number or other?

    Regards

    Kai

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
