Has the engine been replaced? What do your rego papers say about the VIN and the engine number? If the VIN and engine number match then it is the original engine and undoubtedly will be a 302 (5.0L). However if the engine has been changed then you can easily check it's displacement/stroke by the old wire down the spark plug hole trick.

As unlikely as it is, you would be a one lucky bugger to get a 351W fitted AU. Its certainly one of my wet dreams to fit a F4TE to my XR8.
