On that year it should only be one size, I can't remember which though!!
You have to take it apart to put the cam in so why not wait until you have it apart and then measure journal size.
I have a 2.8i flywheel FREE if you want it, other wise binning it.(pm if interested)

think early ones are small bearing, but not 100%

I thought sierra blocks had larger bearing and all capris had smaller?

The large cam bearings are fitted to post 1982 engines.
