Is the Series 1 4.2 2+2 engine the same as the Series 1 4.2 SWB engine or are there any difference like Head, etc?.

No difference to my knowledge. Assuming the 2+2 isn’t an auto.
Series 1 FHC purchased 50 years ago. Courted my wife in it.
Series 1 2+2 when the kids were small now sold.
Series 1.5 OTS in opalescent maroon, Californian car. My retirement present.

Many Thanks for the reply, In what way would a 2+2 Auto’s engine differ?.

I’ve never had an auto but to my knowledge it would only be flywheel onwards. Crank will be the same.

Head is the same .
All assuming it’s a genuine e type engine of the same age and not that from other XK engined vehicles.

Some 4.2 are 8:1 and some 9:1 compression ratio.......so you need to check.......engine number
