How about some details about your car.
give us the engine codes off the block.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

You can't tell just by looking. Externally they appear exactly the same. The cubic inch is cast into the driver's side of the block below the exhaust manifold and somewhat toward the front of the engine. See this page, and scroll down to digram #4.
