What is my engine build from?

Could someone figure out by the picture what irons are used in my engine? The reason I ask is I need to change the rear iron to a later model from a FD so I can mount my engine mounts on the rear plate so it will drop into my fd subframe.

the P port? it looks like its just an FC housing so you should be able to find an FD, fill the intake port, and put it on.

Yea it's from the p port. I'm afraid that the housings are the ones with the water seals in them rather than in the irons witch will screw up my plans.

Cheers.

I'm guessing that those are S4 irons. The middle iron has the engine mounts and it looks like there is a blockoff plate for the EGR on top.

The rear iron on back of the block is definitely not an FD.
