look with a flashlight at the bellhousing flange....it usually says 5.0 or 5.7
liter gas. They look identical externally as the only difference is 3.736" bore
or a 4.00" for the 350

x2. sometimes you can see it from the ground but its a weird angle. Ive done it a couple of times with a camera phone from inside the engine bay and snapped a pic that way.
