I have a 1979 Mustang cobra that originally came with the 302,
Its been modded a bit by the previous owner and now I am not sure
if the engine in it is the original 302, or even a 302 at all. Is there
some type of casting on the engine itself that tells what the engine
type is and if so, where do I find it? Thanks a lot for the help.

The engine block's Service Part Number ("casting" number) and Date Code tell all. On "Windsor" family blocks, they're located on left (starter) side of the block, towards the rear, above the oil pan rail.
