Xlt and 302 engine

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!

Ryan

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

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.
