from past experience the only way to tell is to bring the block to the police department and have them run the number...if its stollen they will keep the motor.

I think the best way is to judge the seller!
Does he have any problem giving you a bill of sale?
Does he have any problem showing you his ID?
Does he want you to pick up the engine in some location other than his house?
Does he have a problem giving you the numbers off of the block so that you can run it by the police?
Does he give you a phone number that's valid? Although maybe valid, I'd wonder about somebody that only will give out a cell phone number. If all he gives is a pager number, somethings wrong!
If you get a red flag, PLEASE contact the police with what ever information you have. That's the only way that we can limit the amount of cars stolen.
