Pontiac Firebird 1967-2002 - Is this TA engine stock??

Ok, I need some help from the experts.

Can any of you guys spot anything that doesn't look stock in this engine compartment?

No this is not a trick question. I am thinking of buying this car and I want to make sure it's 100% stock (as advertised).

It's a 2001.

usually the first thing people mess with is the air intake. The bellows and lid are stock on this car. Also take a look at the exhaust manifolds (make sure they arent headers) and exhaust system. Any out-of-place welds or cuts in the exhaust should tell you there is some work done.

First thing I notice is the battery has been replaced ;)

It looks fully stock from above to me and very clean.

Stock to me. Unless its internal work. Look on the heads for the casting number

Looks stock but look at the bolts that hold shit together... see if they have scars on them suggesting they have had a socket/wrench on them... People often mod a car, beat the shit out of it then remove the parts and sell it as a stock car....

Car only has 9,000 miles on it so I wouldn't think it has been messed with. Just wanted to double check nothing stood out to you guys...

Thanks

Looks good, buy it!

Looks good, buy it!
