Hmm, that's an odd practice considering how easy it is to swap an engine. Well I still need to check the engine serial anyway. I'm not too worried; they don't check the VIN for an in-state title transfer here anyway. I don't know how hard it would be to get them to switch from the engine serial to the chassis serial, but I guess I could ask. But if my engine is already mismatched, I don't think it would be in my best interest to bring up the topic with the DMV.
