If you stay in Florida, there will be no further situations but if you move, an engine change can come back to haunt. If the engine number is from a model A of the same year then there may be no contest but if it's from an earlier or later year, some state DMVs will catch it.

Some states rule by the frame number and require a pencil rubbing of it with state verification (in Texas it's the DPS that verifies). If there is no frame number, many states require a state assigned number to be affixed to the vehicle per their regulations.

I' glad to hear it worked out for you. This is one of the trickiest parts of the hobby.
