straight 6 engine number

[info11]

I'm very new to this kit car lark but loving it so far. Bought a Roadster a few weeks back and was told it has a 2.5lt straight 6 engine, originally it was a 2.0lt but was replaced by the previous owner... but no history or proof of this.
I need to know how to find out what it is, so where is the engine number? i have 4 sets of numbers on the cylinder head V3298 313248 X41 219016 what are they?
It has twin SU Carbs so i think its a triumph 2500TC any help is very welcome.

The engine number should be stamped on the block (rear near side of engine to the right of the distributor).

Canley Classics have a list of engine number on their website link below;

If the link doesn't work the list can be found by clicking on archive followed by technical archive followed by engine number identification chart.

Re: straight 6 engine number

Nick is correct that the prefix MM is for the 2500 engine
I think if you look closely the HF is actually HE which is the suffix on High Compression engines.
