On the front of the head, there should be these 4 circles with lines down the middle of each. The first circle will have 2 numbers. Example (9|6). That means its a 96 head. As for the block, w/o a VIN, I'm not sure.

Re: Finding out what Year Engine (crazi_E)
the year is stamped in a circle on the exhaust side of the head. theres a couple of stamps on there look for the one that seems like a year [for ex. (9/9)] that would mean that the head was manufactured in 99 and corresponds to a late model 99 or more than likely a 00 car.
