Check the spark plug leads, if they are original, they will have a date on them. The date will be very close to the date the engine was built.

there is no way to tell from the engine number.
theres not that many, if any changes in the 7mtge so what does it matter? just tell em its from a 90 ma70. no way they can argue otherwise.

All 7M's used the same emissions gear, therefore regardless of year it will be legal in your car.
