Welcome, what's cast or stamped into the sides of the sump each side? How about at the base of the generator/alternator stand?
Nothing will tell you displacement, dismantling and measuring is the only sure answer to that question.

| There are no markings below generator stand like ae or ak it is blank. There was a glued on metal stamp the size of a nickel that said void if removed. Any ideas? Jay |

None of the aftermarket aluminum cases will have a number stamped below the gen stand. What is stamped on the side of the case below the push rod tubes.
