extra engine... if it were 7A it would be in a 7A block... Or did I miss something?? 7A stroke is 85.5, while 4AC would be 77. At that big of a difference you could likely measure the crank throws to see which it is closer too....

You can |Sad .... OR you can ask for help!!!

Absolutely true. I only have no idea how to visually separate the 4age block to the 7a block. I have heard that a 7a block with a 4age head is like a stroker mod to 1.8L engine. Would be nice if there is a way to see it without opening the engine.

stick a long screwdriver through the sparkplug hole and turn the crank and measure the stroke. Very crude mthod but should do the trick. As mentioned by Dan the difference is big enough to distinguish the 2

Also you could check the block stamp on the side of the engine if it reads 4A XXXX or 7A XXXX.
