Is there any way possible to tell engine size without dismanteling it too far with the engine in the car?

short answer no.
long answer no you can tell what it started out as from the factory from the engine number. to find out if its got bigger pistons and pots fitted you need to strip and measure.

Hi

It can be checked with special equipment to measure cylinder volume.
