The more you look the scarier it becomes.

Looks like an M-B diesel stuffed into... something?  Ive seen them put in all manner of 4x4s from jeeps to Samurais to Defenders.

Looks more like the engine out of a W201 190E 2.3

You may be right. I see a throttle body now that I look closer.

Also, what is the piston looking thing next to in the intake pipe?  I swear, its got valve reliefs and even ring lands.

Engine bay & fenders look the same shape as those of the MG Midget I used to daily. That car, with actual horsepower, would indeed be terrifying.

EDIT:

It’s an MGB.

It’s a piston but I cant figure put what sensor its hiding or why its there. My guess is it’s being used to posi tion a  sensor to ti me the engine

The little vent/grille thing between the engine bay and the windshield is what helped me figure it out :)

What’s the full car look like?

I didn’t take any full photos . It’s a decent chassis on 14" panasports with no bumpers

None exist sadly, I snapped these as I was leaving. Everything is standard affair outside of the engine bay

It looks like a piston, no idea why it’s there.

What is the thing that looks like a piston covered with duct tape?

It s a piston that looks to be a part of some distributor type assembly, but not sure how since it's a coil on plug

Thats such a weird little detail. But I saw that Way2blu guessed right, its an MGB.  I bet that is a rocket of a car with thst engine.
