Well, if it has a rounded over valve cover then its a SOHC (1969-1978) engine. If it has two peaks on the valve cover its a DOHC (1979+).

There should be a number stamped on the rear of the engine case, facing up, behind the starter cover.

This should tell you what year: http://z1enterprises.com/catalog.aspx?pid=CB750K

The VIN will be on the headstock, on the right hand side.

Sure its 7000021 and not 2000021?

What is the VIN? (It will be different from the engine #)
