Trying to determine because if it is, it is going back in my Courier.
Been told it's a 2.5 but now I don't believe it.

Looks like a2.3 pinto / mustang 2 motor to me.

x2....that front sump oil pan would indicate so.

Yep 2.3

looks like a 2.3 I think the 2.5 had 8 spark plus

Yep, it is. Found out too.

Guys told me it was a 2.5L.

Now I got to fix it back up..I think the rear main seal was broken. Oil all in the front of my tranny.

It sure looks like my 2.3 turbo and the NA mill. I don't know what a 2.5 looks like though.

I know you said you figured it out but I wanted to point out the 2.3 N/A mills also had an 8 plug head

If your hunting for a new drop in look here. Lots of guys tossing N/A motors
