I would say a V8, but most likely not with that starter-motor position!

Doesnt look like a BMW bolt pattern, as the top two bolts sit higher up relative to the starter motor on bmw's

cant be a v8 obviously cause of where the starter motor sits.


My guess is that its a supra straight 6 lump on an r154 gearbox
