Again, if already titled (in your name), might also consider restamping the engine if the number is not the same as the title. This will simplify title transfer if eventually selling to a buyer out of state. Restamping different numbers is something of a touchy subject - but it is legally your car and your call.
All engines were assembled constructed, tested and
numbered at the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd plant
in Windsor, Ontario. Engines and frames were stamped with
matching numbers through late 1928. Thereafter, frames
were no longer stamped with the engine number. (Engine
numbers on early frames were stamped on the left hand
side, same as USA, directly below the cowl area and are not
visible unless the body is removed.)
