Take it to a musem and have them do a forensic test. Mine came from the cretatios period.

Look at the block, there should be a number, (something like, B16a or d16y7)..if you tell us that number, we can better judge what car the motor came from.

also the VIN number on the block if there is one can tell you which year and model car the engine came from...look at certain stampings..wiring..pistons..thos can give u a possible idea of what year engine it is if it's a stock block and untouched or modified

It should be the 10th digit for year.
R=94
S=95
T=96
V=97
W=98

Guess it's safe to say my GSR motor is a 98 model

you can also look on the head where there are 4 circular stamps,(they will be partially covered if you have a heat shield,) but the first one says the engine year
