also the engine number will have 25 in it instead 0f 20,23 etc.. there is also a machined 2.5 number in the exhaust side which you can see on the head in between ports

So where is the actual engine number?

i just found the number on the head that said it was 885 so the head was defo a 325 head so i thought its pretty safe to assume the head hasnt been changed and the block is 2.5 too

wow mine has a 2.5 and a 2.7 on the exhaust manifold side

it might be a heavily disguised Alpina - well that's what I'm going to tell everyone anyway.... so they used the same head on the 2.7 ETA as the 2.5?

(can't see a thing on the inlet side - too many pipes)
