is there a way to tell if its a 6 or 7 bolt from the outside of the engine? besides the VIN?

What do you mean outside? Do you mean just by looking at it?

You can look at the driver's side door jamb and look for it's manufacturer date.
If it's before 4/92, then you're golden with a 6-bolt...

you can also tell by the oil pans. On the flywheel side, a 6 bolt pan bumps out towards you. In a 7 bolt pan, the pan dips down a little bit.

Ummm, I beg to differ sir.
It is actually on the T-Belt side.
If you click on the link in post #4, you will see what I'm talking about.

Based on your OP, it appeared that you were looking at a 92 1g.
Maybe if you worded your OP better, we'd all get what you were asking.
I did notice you had a 97 GSX, but how the hell could you tell if your motor in your 2g had a 6-bolt by the VIN...

by the VIN on the engine

Just curious, where is the VIN on the engine located? I have a swap, (performed by previous owner) but would just like to know a little more about the donor vehicle.

Looking at the passenger/flywheel side of the block, it is located at the upper left corner, just below the head. Very small letters and numbers and very hard to see. You may have to spray some type of grease cleaner on the area to see it.
