MEFI 1 was 1993-1995 ish (they may have begun earlier but I can't confirm that), MEFI 2 transitioned in 1996 for a brief period, then it was pretty much MEFI 3 and above after that.

If you have the engine serial number that is the best way to find out what it was originally designed with.

I'm not sure, but a possibility.

MEFI 1993 thru 95 the largest ECM - VST systems

next was

MEFI 1 medium size ECM 1996 thru 1998 and MEFI 1 software in a MEFI 2 case - Some VST systems and 1996 was the transition year for Gen cool fuel for all year models 1997.

Next

MEFI 2 - medium sized ECM - GM 1996 software in a MEFI 2 case with GM part number 16210729 the 729 is the true MEFI 2, if any other part number without the 729 its a MEFI 1 software in a MEFI 2 case. Again the only true MEFI 2 carries GM part number 16210729. This was used on 350 MAG and the L29 454 only, (the true MEFI 2).

Next

MEFI 3 very very late 1998 / for 1999, it was a smaller ECM than all past MEFI's. All MEFI 3 Gen II cool fuel

Hope this MEFI info helps whomever
