What gen 3SGE is this?, Please help Options

[Manos]

Hi all,

I've been at this before, so I beg for yuor patience.

I'm looking into buying this 3SGE engine for my ST:

(This is the only photo I have at the moment).
Could someone please be so kind as to identify what generation it is?
It is advertised as having 178hp (suggesting it is gen3, but by the looks of it I cannot verify it against the photos shown here:

Really easy to spot based on the intake manifold... and the BEAMS are super easy.

Gen 1


Gen 2


Gen 3


Gen 4


Gen 5

Also, I'm looking at what other parts I'll be needing for swapping it into my '95ST (with 7AFE motor), but cannot find anything straight forward about this issue.
Provided I get the entire engine + gearbox + harness + ECU, I think I'll also be needing new engine mounts, right? Will my axles (ST) do or will I need new ones?
Anything else?
(Yes, I have used both the search function on here and Google... )


Thanks a lot in advance for any insight, feedback and advice.

like everyone on here has already said, its a lot of work to install a S series engine in the ST. Depending on your budget, Id look into a V6 swap. you will be much more happier.
