Well, if your engine was never rebuilt, you could've told by the year. 1989-up 2.8's (and 3.1's) received lighter, forged pistons. But if the engine was "broken into", I don't think there's any way to tell besides taking a piston out and looking for a cast line. Forged pistons for a 2.8 cost almost double that of a cast piston... if you still have your receipt, you might be able to tell using that. If your pistons were around $300, they're probably forged.
