Which engine do I have?

Newbie here! Looking forward to learning from you all. Just inherited a 1997 Silverado 1500 2WD. How can I tell which engine is in it? All labels under the hood are gone. Thanks!

Check your VIN, 8th digit is a letter.
Check the attached picture to see what it is.

I believe 8th digit of vin tells engine, 10th digit tells year
