Engine ID

Greetings,
I am new to the forum and have recently purchased a '55 F-100. Seller told me it has a 301/302 set up(?) Engine is supposed to be a 302. How do I ID this motor to know what I have? Where is the engine ID # located? I know very little about Ford stuff. Any help is appreciated!
Regards,
Eric

Thanks for the responses! I have been out of town, but will check for the number and report my findings.

If it's a roller 302, the casting numbers are on the driver's side in the lower rear corner, next to the bellhousing. The date code is on the flat spot behind the starter, facing straight down. This is a number/letter/number(s) combo.
