The engine number is on the left side of the engine where the bell housing bolts on, if you look down past the transmission dipstick you will see it. In the 4th photo where my extendable magnet is pointing.

This is for the 4.2litre engines only.

7A30001> 4.2 Daimler Sov
7D50001> MK10 and 420G
7E***** E Type S1 & S1.5
7F1001> 420 Compact
7L***** XJ6 S1
7M***** DS420 Limo
7R***** E Type S2
8L***** S2 onwards.

The inclusion of the “L” is for long stud engine.
All others are what is known as short stud.
