79 E150 engine code

Hey All,
Bought me a 79 E150 last week, but I just have one problem...I can find a few places with maybe an engine code on the van, like the tag on the back of the valve cover and the metal tag on the drivers door, but I have yet to find what the codes mean. The van has a V8, either a 302 or a 351, but I have to make sure in order to buy parts for it. So, if anyone could help me out on figuring what one it is I would greatly appreciate it!

It is an E150 Club Wagon Chateau with the Trailer Special package w/Auto trans...no rust!

Thanks!-Brian
