Help Identify Block

I thought this was E21 but now I'm not sure.

[tzei]

Yeah looks like E21 engine.

02502530 — Hmm, eight digit VIN stamp (with a leading zero?)

 

1.8 SB (?)

 

so I’m assuming 1.8 ltr..

Only odd thing I see is the short dipstick nub- the E21 was a 1- piece metal pipe.

ALL the other details look E21ish, from the temp sender on the alternator bracket

to the lump in the sump...

And the too tall water pump and crank pulley.

1.8L E21

Can I use that sump on M10 with 02 oil pickup?

Agreed, as above, 1.8-liter e21 block. What is the block’s casting date?  It would provide a little more specificity. Generally, it’s on the right side of the block, in the vicinity of the first two freeze plugs. More detail here:

nope, not on a 2002, no matter how many times you ask!

 

And I THINK the 2002 pickup interferes with it, but hell, it's been 

25 years since I tried.

Ok, I'll let it go.
