If you want to find out if the engine is orginal to that car, there is a small pad on the block below the #6 head casting number and below the #1 spark plug, which is the plug on your far left standing on the drivers side of the car. This has a V.I.N. derivative stamped on it. It will tell the year of the engine block, and help match it to your car via the V.I.N. at the base of the windsheild @ the bottom of the dash on the drivers side. I f this number

Just to clarify,

It's above the unpainted exhaust manifold you asked about and below the head numbers your found. It's not very big and often gunked over.

Yea i can only see the last few parts of it, part of the alternator clampy-thingy- is covering it.

Edit: The VIN ends in 3275 and the part i can see on the engine ends in CFD or CF0 or CFO
