Motor ID Number

Can someone tell me if there is a way of knowing if an engine as been changed.
Does the ID on the motor correspond with the car Serial/Id number in any way.
If not what are the signs to look for to see if it's the original motor or it has been changed..

regards
Pete

On an original engine, there is a engine number stamped on the front side housing. It is inline with the front engine hanger. I doubt if you could track it to your car. Someone else might,not you.
