I don't know which model it's from but 10 bolt heads were the best in terms of head gasket sealing and a X bolt block is a very nice thing to have!

probably the 1995- service engine ie police ldv,s and military engine if thats the case then it should have provisions for x bolting, like the later main caps and modified casting but not actually be x bolted.
