Can someone identify my engine ,this was my garage sale purchase,had it on the road for a month before the snow came down , can't wait till it's gone and I can get it out again.

Can't find a match for D9. Looks like the number is restamped to me.

Would that make it a core replacement engine , besides taking it apart there is no other way to check its size or I'd the year ???
