Is this a 2.7 or 3.0 engine?

A seller is stating the engine in his car is a 2.7 but the red shroud and CIS makes me think it's a 3.0. Seller doesn't seem to know much about his car and I really just want the engine out of it anyway. Thanks!

The 2.7 in my 1975 had cis and a red shroud. We need the engine number.

That gold tag more than likely tells but the only surefire way is the engine number.
Something looks odd. Plastic fuel lines would indicate 78/79 but the intake runners look like small diameter.

Look at the engine number. It is on the right side of the fan housing.

Failing that look at the direction that the rotor turns when you crank it over.

Big or small distributor cap? Hard to tell in that pic.
