Looks like a 318 or 360. What's the make model and year of the vehicle?

It's a big block 440 cid.
The raised flat area to the right of the radiator hose should confirm that.

Based on the engine bay, it's in a 3rd gen Charger or similar B-body.

it’s a 1974 roadrunner, I’m assuming it’s a big block because the distributor is in the front

it’s a 74 roadrunner, I will check there. Will it just say 440?

It's a RB so it could be a 383, 413, 426 or a 440.
yes there were 383 RBs.
RB is raised block or tall deck big block.

Is there anywhere on the block I could find out exactly, I checked one place you can but I was so rusted out you couldn’t read it

The flat pad will tell you, try scraping or sanding the rust of to expose the numbers.

318 and 360 motors were smallblocks.... the distributor cap is in the rear of the motor towards the firewall. This is a big block, as evidenced by the distributor being in the front.
