That's the " Windsor " 4.6 liter V8 ( engine VIN code " 6 " in a 1997 Ford F-150 ) It seems backwards to me because the " Romeo " engine has engine VIN code " W "
Google the vin that's on the block

8th digit of your vin code denotes engine
The engine code is the 8th digit of the VIN.
If you are looking for the engine code in the VIN number, it is usually the 5th or the 8th number. Go to your local auto parts store and have them look up your engine, tell them you need to know your VIN code. They will be able to give you options like "It's either A, C, or L" and then look at the VIN number of your car, find the VIN code, and that is what it will always be.
If it's an original engine, call a GM dealership and give them the VIN number.
