Is this your old engine?

I'm in northern Cali (eureka). I bought an engine to do a t2 swap on my 89 I purchased the engine from a big wrecking yar called lkq in Redding ca with plans on rebuilding it But the engine I received had a lot of aftermarket parts on it.... So I am searching for the previous owner to possibly get more information on the build.
The car that the engine came out of, I was told had front end damage.
Not in the pics but has rc injectors and an act clutch

The hot side looks stock. Bnr machines them to fit a to4 compressor on the factory hot side.

I guess nobody saw the gilmer pulleys on it either..?
If the engine held good compression and you got it for that price then you got a great deal man!.Congrats!

LKQ probably put the heat tabs on, not the builder.
