I guess mine just says Ford Electronic fuel injection. I've always thought it was a 5.0 but only because a buddy said it looks just like one.Knowing they both look the same I'm not so sure anymore.

Count the plug wires on the distributor. 6+1 coil wire=6 cyl./4.9 or smaller/// 8+1 coil wire= 8 cyl./5.0 or larger. Any more or less, somebody else's vehicle w/o an alarm system, RUN!!!!!

Lol. I'm actually trying to determine if mines a 5.0 or 5.8. I can obviously tell its a v8. I bought my truck as a repo so I have no original info.

The OP may be a different story though

There should be a permanent sticker on the cover of the air filter housing w/ vehicle specific info. plug gap, vac system diagram, base timing setting ect. It's probably there. There's an info sticker on the drivers door jam. Tranny,tires, yada,yada......
