They were 3.4's until 1960 or 1961 and then they went to 3.8.  The  xk150s 
tricarb engine was just about the same as the engine spec that  first went 
into the the xke.

I wonder  if anyone recalls the scene with Clint Eastwood in the movie *Play
Misty  For Me* driving his XK 150 Jag through the mountains above the ocean
in the  Carmel area?  Just as cool as it gets!  The exhaust note coming  off
that double over head cam straight 6 as the Jag climbs up through the  
hills.
.  nothing else quite like it.  Also shot at  dusk.

What was the displacement of the straight 6 on Jags of that  era?  A 3.8 I
think?  Then it went to a 4.2?
