Yup, a 4v, but it didn't make quite as much power as the NA 4v cobras. It had a sightly more restrictive 2 plane intake manifold with butterful valves that would open a 2nd set of runners at a given rpm... IIRC.

Click to expand...

What you're referring to are the IMRC plates, probably similar to what the 96-98 Cobra had.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a Teksid block and also has the same B heads as the 96-98 Cobra, though it's likely not a forged rotating assembly. If you didn't plan on going to a 4V setup, you could easily sell the block alone for probably 4 times what you paid for the car.
