Default 302 block doesn't have id numbers by the starter

I am considering buying this motor if it runs good but, it doesn't have the id numbers on it. It has a flat tappet cam in it now but, he believes it is a roller block. Is he correct?

alright, we think we got it figured out. He said that there isn't any id numbers in the lifter valley either but, we found a place for a dipstick on the driver's side so, we think it is a roller motor (like he said he thought it was in the first place) even though it has a 302 cam in it. The engine was a dirt track motor, turns up real quick, and can see a lot of rpm so, i thought it maybe some kind of marine block or something I have never heard of.

Anyway, after 7 years of owning the 4cly auto car he is actually going to get to drive it in the next week or so. I am pretty ****ty for wanting the motor already (even though I could have bought it for nothing when I didn't need a motor) and have about got to the point to where I don't want to see it come out of the car. His car is set-up way better than mine and has potential to run 8.0s on the motor with the ford irons on it while being driven to the track.

pull the intake off and look in the lifter valley. there should be two threaded holes for the lifter spider to bolt down to.
