It's aftermarket.
If you buy the car, budget $500 or a thousand or so to fix mistakes or
mismatches in engine components, just in case fixes are needed. You don't
know the competence of the modifier, or the completeness of the
modifications.
If you're buying the car so you can have a daily driver that will run
reliably for along time without needing more than basic maintenance, this
is not the car for you.
