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

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

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

                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.

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