2.5l engine block identification

Hello,
Is it possible to tell the difference between a 2.3l and 2.5l block externally?
Thanks

The difference between versions of the 2.3 are mostly related to fuel pump, oil pump and ignition/distributor. The 2.3 and 2.5 share the same block, the different displacement being done by lengthening the stroke. The 2.0 has a smaller bore. There IS a difference somewhere in time with the crankshaft journals.
There is at least one post here that details ALL the differences...
