Wrong ports for an S1 RST head as well. The S1 had round exhaust ports.

Judging by the exhaust ports, look like a EFI unit.

OR it could be from an early turbotechnics conversion

Not all turbo engines have the block oil return, it could be that someone is getting a very early version of it!!

Scott R, every genuine FORD RS block i know of has the turbo oil return. So it still isnt a genuine S1 engine, even if it was a TT conversion it wouldnt be anything compared to an S1 engine power wise!
