Identify engine please

Can someone tell me what V6 engine this is? Guy isn't sure but thinks it's the 3.0. It will be 2 days before he can look at it again.

I am pretty sure it is a 4.0. That's an awful pic for engine ID, but the position of the IAC and what is visible of the intake, along with the positions of the alternator and the A/C compressor, are consistent with a 4.0. That little white sticker on the left would tell you for sure though.

Heck if that pic was a little bigger we could just look at the data sticker right there.

Well if U are sure its a 4.0... U are looking at MY NEW TRUCK! Thank guys, knew I could count on ya!

I'm not 100% sure because I can't see it well enough. I'd give it about 90%, give or take 5.

I'll know for sure about Tuesday, guy has it in a storage garage and won't get to it until then to see. Got my fingers crossed! Won't be sleeping much for the next 2 days...

BTW anyone got a similar pic of either engine to compare??

 

[adsm08]

Well, no. I have lots of pics of a 4.0, but it is in pieces in all of them.

Here is a top-down of a 4.0 intake though. You can see how the IAC sits back really far.

from what i can see it looks like a 4.0 just by the look of the intake mani

Thanks guys U have been a great help...BTW I just got an email from the owner...it's a 4.0 baby!! 1994 single cab shortbed 4X4, manual with 68K! Now gotta pick it up and start emptying my wallet with mods. New lift and tires first

Looks exactly like my '94 4.0l but it is cleaner, lol.

Nice! I'd almost trade you trucks....

That's a rare and highly wanted configuration. Personally, I'd sell it and make money, then buy one I wouldn't feel bad chopping cutting and welding on.

Not looking to do anything wild with it. Probably just a 4" Skyjacker lift, 32-33" MT's, selectable lockers and winch. May regear when doing lockers depending on cash flow. Any info on where I should start with this mild build? I'll post pics when I get it home and start another thread on here somewhere and glean info from U guys.
