It's coming along nicely-I like the big brakes!
I'm foiled so far ID'ing your engine. It isn't an LS, which would be the presumed conversion. It's a V configuration, and it's not Pontiac. 860 ft-lbs of torque means it is a forced induction motor, but doesn't mean it is in that configuration currently. There isn't anything to decisively say one way or the other, though there is what looks like blue silicone tubing with wire clamps at the top of the photograph, that may be supercharger ducting. That probably means aftermarket equipment.
To someone more knowledgeable than me, the placement of the A/C compressor in the valley would mean something. It looks the same as the A/C compressor on my GMC. The webbed aluminum casting means fairly recent production (less than 20 years old). It's a takeout engine.
It's hard to tell, but the valve covers appear too narrow for an overhead cam engine. That means it's not Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Jaguar, Toyota, Nissan, or Northstar/Aurora etc, but the power steering pump's reservoir has a cap that "looks" like it's from an import. The A/C pump and other things are in the wrong spot for it to be a new Hemi.
It wouldn't seem to make sense to build an LT1-type engine.
I'm stumped. Can you give us (me) a better picture, or a hint? Please?
What transmission?
