Well it does have the SVT plate with the two signatures on it. Still, that could be forged. This guy could work at a Ford parts dept and maybe pulled some strings to get this thing in. Its not like it cannot be done. Jackson Racing got its hands on a few new SVT Focus motors for blower development about a year before the SVT hit dealer lots. But, I would be very skeptical, especially since it is on Ebay and the guy isn't willing to give up how he got the motor or what the part # is.
