Yes, it's E-Mod but something tells me he's using an early Oldsmobile block
instead of a Buick.  There is a guy in town who stuck one of these into his
'76 BMW 530i: it fit quite well and produced LOTS of torque. Quite a change
from the high-revving 3.0L I6 BMW installed but it fit the character of the
car very well, especially combined with the modified Turbo 350 transmission
he installed in place of the gawd-awful ZF slushbox that BMW used.
