Pity it's a 1992 with the manual belt tensioner and lower compression.

This doesn't appear to be a factory crate motor, I think it was removed from a new or low-mile car. Note the flywheel is missing and the alternator bracket is rusted. The distributor insulators are faded white - indicating it's been in the sun for YEARS like this. Those insulators are either orange (Bosch) or black (Doduco). Really weird. Note that without the flywheel bolts installed, the crankcase has been open to atmosphere during storage... not a big deal if stored indoors & climate controlled.

It does look like a unused motor, the factory shipping crate is gone and some parts removed. If I had to make a guess, it was stored outside under some sort of roof, but not enclosed enough to prevent some rust.
