vin decoding

I need a new icp for my 1997 f350 7.3... The parts guys wanted to know what the engine serial number was because there are 2 different sensors for different building serial numbers...

I tried to check behind the block but could not locate anything...is there a way to decode the vin to find out which series motor is in the truck? I checked the old icp and could not locate a number on it....
Any suggestions......
