If original it will have a suffix code. Not sure if applicable in your instance or not but per that same website linked above:

"VF292800 - is an example of a over the counter crate engine. "2800" is the last 4 digits of the GM part # for the crate engine assembly. The final digit could be a year code.
Another example: A Targetmaster engine (p/n 14009800) built in 1985 could have a code stamped as follows:
A0198005 (A = january, 01, 9800 = pn, 5 = 1985)."

My green Blazer has a warranty replacement motor/block with a code that begins with "CE..." for counter exchange
