It's a DOHC. Looks like a b18. Only way to know for sure is to look on the block and post what it's stamped with.

the someone either put an ls head on a b18c block or they took the vtec selenoid and is running no vtec. its hard to believe tht it says b18c anything!

it can be either a b18a from a 90-93 Integra LS, or a b18b from a 94-97 Integra LS.
It can also be a b20. They offered 2 versions of the b20b, one high compression and one low compression, one being 8.8:1 and the other 9.6:1

The intake manifold could be swapped out, but it wouldnt make sense to do that...unless it was to clear the hood.

Best bet is a b18a or b18b1 from early model integras.

Pretty sure it is a G2 or G3 1.8L LS engine.

It is not a Moroso valve cover, it could be, as mentioned, a stock valve cover that has been "shaved" although I am pretty sure you can not shave that much off, more likely, also as mentioned, an eBay valve cover.

Look at the stamping, I can almost see it in the pic, it is at the left front end of the block directly below, [4-5 inches] the left end of valve cover, [distributor end]. 94

Your upper rad hose is kinked because its too long. Who ever installed it shouldn't even do an oil change. I'd check that thing out and see what else is improperly installed. or is it just sucked in because there is no coolant... lol. but yeah, I agree, looks like a LS of some sort. I doubt thats a C series block.
