Can't tell much. Looks like a DOHC head, and the part that's sticking up is the intake manifold with short runners. From the way the motor sits, looks like the transmission is mounted backwards, in front of the engine.

I could be totally wrong. Higher resolution or a better angle would be nice.

Ahhh...


I was wrong. The engine sits normally tucked down between the frame rails, and that's a tall manifold that sits the throttle above the valve cover. That's roughly the same place the throttle body on the Maruti Alto variant of the K10 sits under the engine cover. Newer K10 cars use a plastic intake manifold. The caps over the spark plug also look the same as the Alto's.

Looks like a good fit, though not quite sure... still need more resolution.

Interesting... a car that light, and the wheelbase is longer than an Accord's. Should mean decent legroom... or it would if the rear suspension wasn't there. Still... looks comfortable enough, though ingress to the rear might be tight.
