Not really the most you can tell is if it comes with an intake manifold and tha fuel rail is return less then its at least an 04 and up and if you take the head bolts off and there 2 diffrent sizes the again its 04 and up if the head bolts are 3 diffrent sizes its 03 and down !

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is located on the left side rear of the engine block (1) and is typically a 9 digit number stamped or laser-etched onto the engine at the vehicle assembly plant.
• The first digit identifies the division.
• The second digit identifies the model year.
• The third digit identifies the assembly plant.
• The fourth through ninth digits are the last 6 digits of the VIN.

If it's an 05+ block, the only difference is the pistons, the LQ9 being flat tops vs. dished for the LQ4, as I'm sure you know. If budget is a concern (as it is for most of us), I'd get the LQ4 and make up the compression with a smaller combustion chamber in the heads. If you ever decide to go with a serious boost setup and need to lower the compression, you can easily do so by swapping heads in the future
