The engine code will be stamped on the flat spot directly to the left of the exhaust manifold. It's directly to the right of the bottom of the barcode sticker on the tranny.

The tranny code is on that yellow tag next to the engine code. Hmmm....it looks like you have the YS1 tranny.

That engine code looks kinda sketchy in the pic, I tried zooming in on mspaint and it just got too pixelated to tell. More pics if you got em
