It should say somewhere on the engine. On my '95 civic with stock D16, it is on the front (on the side of engine toward the front bumper), toward the passenger side, a few inches down from the top, moulded into the plastic. When I checked mine, I had to wipe the grease and oil off of it to find it, but it wasn't too hard to find.
If you still can't find it, have a tuner shop look at it.
Also, you may want to be careful sending engine numbers to dealers; I've heard of people that bought a used car (completely legal), took it in to find out what they had, and gotten their engine confiscated or car impounded because it was on records as a stolen engine.
Oh, and Suzybelle- that's the whole point of buying a '94- you don't have to worry about voiding your warranty or anything like that, and you can do whatever you feel like you wanna do. Like a turbo. And if the engine's messed up, it's nothing to worry about, because that gives you a good excuse to do an even better swap.

I WOULD TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC OR A LOCAL HONDA DEALER---I WOULD NEVER BUY A USED CAR WITH SOME JACKED UP ENGINE FROM A PRIVATE SELLER! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM AND THEY DONT HAVE WARRANTIES AND THEY WILL END UP COSTING YOU MORE THAN THEY ARE WORTH!

take it to a good mechanic or shop, they can look at it and tell you, if not ask them to find the serial number, then call a honda dealer and ask them to look it up
