I'm going to note that while musclecar era Mopars and Fords have relied much less on "numbers matching" born-with engines to prove their provenance, as these cars get more expensive I am seeing "numbers matching" engines becoming more important to buyers, probably for bragging rights. The value uptick for original engine in 428CJ Mustangs and Hemi or 6 pack cars has increased over the last decade and buyers concern for it has grown. IMO.
