+1
Stock from a 521, 510 or 620 with L16/L18 and L20b Blocks (since it looks to take a W58 head)

Re: What engine is this?
Most likely L20b based on the round exhaust ports but heads interchange on L motors. There is a pad behind the dipstick on the block that should be stamped with the number. also, the L20b timing cover has 2 bolts on either side up where the head bolts to. The 16/18 only have one.
