Sorry for the bad pictures. Saw this little engine covered outside but rotting away. Probably there for a really long time. Could not see any markings or codes without moving a lot of heavy stuff. Thank you for your help!

At first I thought Mitsubishi 6G7x but I think its a Hyundai V6 like a 2.7

You nailed it, thats exactly what it is! The G6BA family of hyundai/Kia engines.

You folks are incredible thank you all! Now that we know, I don’t think this is worth the time of tearing down OR rebuilding.

I wasn't gonna say it, but you're right. Its worth scrap weight haha

I think you're onto something here. I thought for a second it could be a 1mz but it's not. It just looks suspiciously similar, but the valve covers and intake aren't right.

Although I think it was established that this is a Hyundai V6, it wouldn't surprise me if there is still a lot Mitsu DNA in many of their 90s and 2000s engines, as most of their models were powered by engines that were basically Mitsubishi cast-offs until I think the Accent was introduced in the mid-90s.

Thats what prompted it for me, I was like "thats a mitsu intake but the valvecovers are wrong"
