    part of the head gasket sticking out at the top by chance?
    if it has finger port bosses its a 4.0 but that was later ones
    3.6 had twin pack ignition ( but that could of changed)
    I think a dealer can run the serial number

    Pull a spark plug and look down the bore. Rotate the FW until you can see the piston edges. 3.6's used a flat top piston. 4.0's had a domed piston. You can see the dome start about 1/4" or so from the edge of the piston.
