Does it have an engine cover that says northstar?
There could only be a 4.6L northstar, or a 4.9L engine in this vehicle. To retrofit another engine in a front wheel drive(transverse) setup would be somewhat difficult, next to impossible, and almost certainly evident. What is the 8th vin digit, if it is 9 or Y it is a northstar(4.6L) car. If the digit is B, it is a 4.9L.
