You Google the two and decide which one yours looks like.

The coil packs instead of spark plug wires and distributor are the biggest give away. Only the 3.7 and the 4.7 came with the coil packs (I'm not even going to mention the 4 cyl).

The throttle body was a real good obvious suggestion. Go team! lol
