engine size?

[broncobeginner]

I am new to anything bronco and have very little knowledge of engines but I just bought a 71 bronco to fix up owner said it has a 351w but im not sure..its looks like a 289 i had in a previous car. I found a number on the block near the starter its E9AE6015AA14. Is this a way to find out what size engine it is and ifso how do I do it? any help is wanted, needed and appreciated

that is a 1989 engine block number . the way i tell a 289 or 302 from a 351w is to look at the distance from the timing cover to the head gasket at their closest point . 289 and 302 are less than 0.5 inches and 351w is about 1.0 inches.
