Default VIN Number on Block?

Hey guys. Bought a b18b block a few months back and I'm trying to figure out the year of the block. Might be a silly question but I dont know the year of it and could use some help. The guy I bought it from had no idea... There is no head on it so I cant look at the VIN under the valve cover, above the headers...

there wouldn't be a vin under the valve cover anyway. a b18b obd2 would have the vin right above the oil pan on the exhaust side of the motor. a 94-95 would not have a vin.

94-95 b18b's also have the black pcv box on the back. 96+ won't have the hole machined out.
