If it was head was rebuilt, that VIN sticker would be gone from the cleaning process.

It's head hasn't been built my eagle eyes can see the vin sticker.

m20 perhaps

EVERY SINGLY TIME I go to buy something on ebay or craigslist and it says "Everything works perfectly, but sound is untested" that's code for "oh I totally tested the sound and it doesn't work." So since he isn't specifically saying it's a certain engine, that means it's the lowest of the low hanging fruit. Or he really doesn't know, but that's highly unlikely.

Ask for him to disassemble it and measure the bore and stroke. Only REAL way to be sure.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Ask for some better pics.

Looks like a big guibo and a 328 driveshaft so perhaps S50/ Zf combo?

[Mr. Burns]

its probably just an old ragged out M50

that's what i'm learning towards too...

but the 6spd tranny???

I'll keep you kids updated...

[MJCRO]

Definitely a M50/S50. Tranny could be a ZF or Getrag, pictures are too cruddy. Tell him to send you better pics!

[Navarone]

It's a V6 from a mustang.

Exhaust manifold are cast iron, not tubular steel, so that means M50 not S50, correct?

Early M50 and S50 both had cast iron manifolds. Switch to stainless came with ODB2 in 96.

[Asbradley21]

That's not a euro s50, no ITB's. It is either an M50 or US S50. OBD1 intake.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Definitely not a s38 that at the most could be a euro spec s50

Real question is how much does he want and what the condition
