If you pop the engine cover and lift it there should be a tag on the inside with the Engine code etc printed on it.

Why do you need to know the block number anyway?

my bad . where is the BLOCK number

I'm no expert here but it should be stamped on the block.
Where exactly on the block however I don't know. Ask one of the better knowing 3S boiz on here...

any 3s block shoud fit, i have a 1997 caldina block on my 89gt4. there are 2 different blocks i know of which is where i had problems the fwd and 4wd block, the 4wd hav more clerance for the gearbox. the mr2 might be slightly different again but i doubt it.
