I am not sure if there is any national law that touches this.
Practice varies.
A friend has a '38 Ford with a Ford Authorized remanufactured engine. Engine was assigned a new Rebuilder's Number on a plate riveted to the block.
Mt '82 300SD has a Mercedes replacement engine, installed at about 100,000 miles. It has a different S/N ( stamped into the pad on the block, which identifies it as a factory-built replacement.

Would a CarFax check run on the VIN show the engine replacement?
