An easy check is to look at the I.D. plate on the firewall. HQ series 308's had an engine prefix L31. 253's prefix was L32. Then the later 308's in the torana and HJ-HZ was L34. Of course this information is useless if the engine has been swapped. In any case remove a spark plug and manually crank the motor measuring the stroke from top dead centre to bottom dead centre . 308's had longer of the two.
