Hey All,
My Bronco is a 1983 XLT, and I think the motor in it is a stock 302. Is this right? I only see this year on ebay with a 351 as an XLT? Is there any way I can tell for sure what size engine I have in my truck?

Thanks!

The engines were still customer options. My 92 XLT has the 302 in it.

 

if you look on the upper intake plenum it should say either 5.0 or 5.8 on it. you might also check your door sticker it might give some info

later

 

It's an '83 - no EFI.

 

There is no sticker on the door, any other ways I can figure it out?

Here is a little info that might help you guys help me figure it out,

1) we overhauld the engine with a 302 kit (rings, bearings, push rods ect.).

2) a normal 302 dipstick out of all other 302's will not fit mine, they are to short, my dip stick is a good 3 inches longer.

 

Has to be longer in a truck.

 

Did you go to the links I posted?

 

won't the casting #'s on the heads, block, intake etc.....identify it for you?

 

Dang guys, listen to Steve83, those are really good links that WILL tell you what it is !
