what is the best way to find out what motor is is my truck its an 82 f100 but not the original motor. its a small v-8 and the valve covers have 4 bolts each ( 3 on the outside and one in the center of the inside) the block is covered with a layer of oil and crap so i would have to scrub the whole thing down to find the casting number is there any other way to id the motor without the number

it would have to be a 302. The 302 is the biggest motor that came in that generation F-100's. And when you open your hood on just under the front itll have it listed where its listed whether its a catylist truck or not
