the picture doesnt work, post a link. do you know what year and model the engine came from, otherwise 6bolt/ 7bolt refers to the number of bolts on the flywheel

Here's how to help you tell if you have a 6 bolt or 7 bolt without taking anything apart.
The pic isn't working btw. What year is the car?

I fixed the piture for ya. But just from looking at it quickly id say 7 bolt from the intake manifold looking like a 2g's. But it could still be a swap so its hard to say. Just look at the link silver coupe put up. that seems to be pretty good. If your not satified with that then the best way is to look at the number of bolts on the flywheel

Its in a 1995 GS-T he claims it has a 6 bolt swap, but I don't trust that unless I did the damn swap myself. I'll have to check the oil pan. I knew there had to be another way besides the flywheel. Thanks guys.

I still can't see the pic, but look for the misplaced MAP sensor and the CAS, coil pack placement, if you can check the lower timing cover it has to be cut for the swap. Not sure which one but one of the motor mounts is cut also. Arn't the TB different also?
