Darren, Saab's service manual (Tech Data) shows the block stamping you mentioned as the only engine I.D. source on the vehicle. You might try moving some stuff out of the way and going at it with a wire brush or 3M scrubby.
Some clues that might *suggest* but do not confirm you don't have the original engine are the flywheel p/n (not reliable, as a shop might give you someone else's re-surfaced wheel when doing a clutch job). The head p/n can also suggest but not confirm for you, again because of possible replacement at some time. I have read that the block paint can yield clues, too, but for 89s, I have seen both grey and red.
What makes you think the engine's not original?
