What does the owner say, and where is the Stovebolt currently titled? As I recall, some states (can't recall which) use the motor number for title, and a title must be changed if a motor is changed. Just my 2C from memory. Here in Idaho it's like Pa. - without a correct serial number on a previous title - that matches the one on the truck ---- no new title. The current owner should be working to solve this if he ever wants to sell it correctly.
First though, a big welcome to the Stovebolt site!
Hopefully others more knowledgeable than me will chime in here as well. Good luck with the 56 - but I just would not buy until the title etc. meets Pa requirements.
