I was with someone today who showed me

On the block however it had Jaguar 3.5 any clues

Hi Clive
The 3.4/3.8 engine blocks have the same. I think it was probably just Jaguar saving money. Copied the same pattern and just shortened it for casting the 2.4 blocks.
Any more thoughts!

Is it a 3.4/3.8 engine fitted into a 2.4 car.
The engine code will give the game away
BG on 2.4 engines
KG on 3.4 engines and
LA on 3.8's

Hi Clive
You'll know by the block height, 2.4 is about 2.!!!! shorter than a 3.4/8. As Brian said check the number. Another quick observation would be the carb mounting on the inlet manifold.
