Is there any place on a Ford engine that would tell me the size of the engine?

You sure you are working on a Ranger? 882L sounds like an awful big engine.
Rotate the engine until the #1 piston is at the top of the cylinder. Top Dead Center is indicated on the crankshaft pulley at 0
degrees. To be sure it is on the compression stroke, remove the rocker arm cover, and watch the valves operate. When the intake opens then closes, rotate until the exhaust is closed and you are at TDC.

Speedometer on 1998 Chevy Caviler ?

TDC = Top Dead Center. The piston on number one cylinder has to be at the top of its' stroke. One way to tell, if you are very carefull, remove the spark plugs, you want to turn this thing by hand for most accuracy, don't use the starter. Put your finger over the hole, turn the motor using a breaker bar on the crank bolt. When you start to feel pressure on your finger, it is on compression stroke. Now if you're carefull, you may be able to get away with sticking a long screwdriver down in that hole to use as a referrence. Now rotate until it is as far up as it will go, just before it starts going back down, that is TDC.
