It should be the 172bhp engine in the back, and it should look like this:

If it's the earlier, slightly less powerful engine it will look like this:

I tend to tell them apart via the rounded or square plenums :th:

That is a Rev3.

The First pic is my Auto Rev3 with Magnecor plug leads and I discarded the plastic plug lead covering as it was broken at the time of removing the plenum. The extra cable to to the throttle body is the kickdown cable for the automatic box.

174bhp stock, less torque band than an earlier GE though. The Auto's have a little less.
