Couldn't find this info anywhere.. What can I learn from these numbers stamped on my block?
3S 9331703
obviously the 3S is the block, but I can't find any info to decode the 9331703.. I'm trying to determine what year the motor is and possibly if it was Europe or Japan
Thanks!

Subscribed - I too would like to know. Might make it easier to figure out parts for my swap if I knew exactly what year the engine came from.
hmmm nobody?
taking a stab....
year 1993 with it being the 31,703 block being made in that model year.... 3sge block went in many cars.

Where did you find this stamp on the block, Jess - I'll have a look at mine and we can compare notes.
It's just engine's serial number.
BTW, if you just like to know mfg. year.
Your block was made during mid.of 1997.
