There will only be a partial VIN on the passenger side pan rail and that will only tell you what plant the car was built at that will help narrow it down .

Is there something special about the engine that has you all hot and bothered to know what it came from ?

Maybe it came from a '78 LRE

Just thought I'd toss a hook at you, looks like you took the bait! Don't worry, be happy!
