if you dont know how to you think we will know? j/k
being serious now, theres engine "stamp" numbers and engine "casting" numbers on the engine that will help you determine what you have.
the casting numbers are normally found on the top right (drivers side) of the bell housing. youll have to crawl up into the engine bay clean the bell housing mount off and take a picture with you phone to get the best results. ive also found taking something like soapstone and rubbing the casting marks make it easier to read.
the stamped numbers are normally found on the front left (passengers side) perch. but the alternator makes them hard to see.
also not if the engine deck has had any mil work them the numbers will be gone.
the casting numbers will tell you what the engine CID was casted at, the year and sometimes the number of bolts in the main. the stamped numbers will tell you what the engine came out of the factory as and the last few digits of the vehicles VIN
