Re: Is this an XR Engine?
I see 2 cam gears, so not an XR engine. Looks like its probably a Toyota 24v inline 6 if I had to guess just from that picture.

Re: Is this an XR Engine?
What are the six blue things in a row? Like capped off lines or something? Behind the line that goes up and over the valve cover. Count the teeth on the cam gears and see if it is toyota.

Intake being on the left side isn't Toyota I6. The 6 things I think are ignition coils/plug wires.
Definitely not a Ford. That alternator connector looks very nice though.

Re: Is this an XR Engine?
Cam gear style and oil cap location still have me leaning towards a Toyota inline 6 of some sort...

7mgte from mk3 Supra, the coil location gives it away.

Thanks Morgan - i knew I was on the right track thinking it was an I6 Toyota engine.

IDing a random motor is one of the little things that makes the MCA forums interesting.
I'd love to get auto parts supplier[s] to use a pik of a stock or modified xr for an ID contest. Of course there would have to be 2 categories:
[a] MCA know-it-alls, vs The rest of us [insert descriptive adjective].
