It is an IDI (indirect injection) engine.

Shop manuals usually provide that info. Though you may have to look at the diagrams of the head/combustion chamber and be familiar with the differences between IDI and DI engines.

Whether this particular engine is a great motor or not depends mostly on how worn out it is. I sugget looking at the info at: http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/voconversionbasics/vpost?id=1869427 to determine this.
