easy to tell m8, if the oil filter is directly mounted to the block near the middle then its a black top engine, if its mounted towards the drivers side on the oil pump then its a silver top, doesnt matter what year you use as long as its either black or silver top, you will need to get it rebored to take the 2.1 pistons as they are 86mm and the standard bore is 84.6mm.
