I'm doing something similar in NC. The procedure you go through here is for an "incorrect title." Basically you say "I have the title for this car, but something on the title is incorrect and I need an updated, corrected title." The NC title manual published by DMV has a specific procedure for updating the VIN when the VIN is on the motor. You have to produce documentation showing what happened to the old motor with the old VIN (you took it out and you still have it) and where you got the new motor with the new VIN (bill of sale from the guy who sold it to you). You submit the documentation and hopefully they issue a new title with the new VIN.

You'd have to figure out the equivalent of this process for Florida.
