well if it's aluminum heads its either Y or F body. Cast Heads it's B-car. get a magnet, or look at plug orientation. Al heads have angled plugs, us Cast Head boys dont..

From the fleaBay description (editted for LT1 content):
1986/1994 VOLVETTE 740 TURBO WAGON
345 HORSEPOWER CORVETTE ENGINE WITH 14000 MILES
LT1 6 SPEED CORVETTE TRANSMISSION WITH 14000 MILES
EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD SUPER CHEVY MAGAZINE
$30,000.00 + INVESTED (HAVE RECEIPTS)
118,000 VOLVO 14,000 CORVETTE
STAINLESS TWIN INTAKE PACKAGE W/TWIN K & N'S
INJECTION AIR FOIL
VERY TRICK COMPUTER READS FROM MANIFOLD
I won the auction and I'm not sure if I can negotiate since I can't definitively prove it's not a "Corvette" engine. When asked about veification of the engine mileage the seller's response was "JUST RECEIPT WHERE ENGINE WAS PURCHASED NEW" so I will see that when I pick it up Saturday.

And I was correcting you on the valve covers issue.

That could be a very cool car. If you do get it, PLEASE clean up the wiring and hoses under the hood. 
The wiring looks terrible. Car looks clean tho. Wagons are cool - especially if they have 6-speeds in 'em.

I was right. The 92 Vettes got the same valve covers the L98 Vettes got, well I know for sure they didnt get the valve covers shown above.

I had an LT1 Vette. Those valve covers are most definately not the one's that come on a Vette.
