You'd have to try hsv dealer or a club they generally have lists on car vin/engine numbers.

If your just looking at the car, and its manual, the 215 will have the 6 speed, and the 185 will have the 5 speed.
The console will reflect this, 5 speeds have normal exec console (but the inner is black, not grey) and the 6 speeds have the calais/statesman style centre console.
I've also noticed that ALL 215s have the HSV 250k dash, and i've personally never seen a 185 with it, but theres other people on here who have seen them (either changed or thats how they are optioned). So if it has the 220k speedo, its def a 185.
Edit - oh lol, just realised you only meant the engine, forget about this

any help will be greatly appreciated
and to rooster do you know any clubs thatll know cos not even holden knows theyve only started documenting engine block mumbers from vt on blocks and stuff and from the vz everything is documented (supposedly)
A HSV dealer or HSV's customer service line should be able to give you more information regarding its build based on the build number of the car.
They would have records of what the car was sold as, where as they may not know what an individual engine was built as...
Just a thought
