Default 2002 Dodge Durango - Easy way to identify the engine?

Hey all..

Silly question I'm sure... but I'm trying to sell a 2002 Dodge Durango for a single-mom friend of ours. Is there an easy way to identify the 5.9L from the 4.7L? I don't see any markings under the hood.. just a "Magnum V8" on the air filter cover..

Actually now that I typed that out I probably just answered my own question.. haha.. but I'm not sure if the 4.7L was also referred to as a "Magnum"?

An easy way to tell is that the 4.7 uses coils and has a square air hat. The 5.9 has a round cover and uses wires.

Post a pic of the engine and we can say for sure what it is.
