2.8L or 3.1L can anyone tell me

I bought 1991 camaro but I don't know what engine it is. Can anyone tell me from the picture of the engine?

Thanks for your help.

Re: 2.8L or 3.1L can anyone tell me

Most likely it's a 3.1 judging by the fact hat it's a '91, unless that's not the original engine. Asuming it's the original engine:What does your emissions sticker say on the hood? If that's not there, your VIN should read "T" for the 8th digit to confirm it's a 3.1. The LB8 2.8 was taken out of production for Camaros in 1990, and replaced with the LHO, 3.1. Also the upper intake on a 2.8 will read "2.8" on it, while the 3.1 liter as yours appears, is blank. Hope this helps!
