engine should have a number stamped on the flat pad in front of the passenger cylinder head. Last 3 should be letters like TOK. That is the code that will tell you what engine you have. I don't have the info but was able to trace the donor engine for my truck by doing a google search with the letters in the subject. If the pad is blank the engine block has been decked. There is also a casting number behind the driver head under the firewall, hard to get to and read but it can tell you which engines used that casting number, again using a google search.

Forgot to mention, if it is the original engine the numbers on the pad will match the last 5 or 6 numbers of your VIN.
