Can a front end collision damage the engine even if the engine isn't touched?

I'm about to purchase an engine from a car that was wrecked. The engine still ran well after the accident, but I have a friend whose TDI was totaled up front, and his engine blew up 3 weeks after the car was repaired. When they took the head off, everything inside was torn up. I'm just curious as to how much shock an engine takes from a front end collision. Thanks
