That's not an SC engine nor engine bay. And WTF?! Front wheel drive V8?! Never seen one before. But definitely whoever uploaded the pics made a mistake.

That...is a pretty good price for that car IMO...That is NOT the picture of an SC under the hood. Battery on wrong side, everything is messed up. That is not the actual SC.

EDIT: That is an engine bay from a 1992-1996 Cadillac Seville Northstar. Almost bought one.

Maybe not wrong, they probably intentionally did so to pull of a scam probably.

Northstar is most likely the biggest pile of crap GM ever engineered. The heads were garbage. It was that type of engineering that brought GM to where it was a few years back before they started sticking LSx's into everything they sold.

Side note, The Lincoln Continental would have been brilliant if the chassis matched up to that powerplant. What a fantastic little modular motor. Too bad the car would not turn a corner at anything over 30mph without epic understeer.
