Default papers needed for a swaped motor to prove its not stolen?

so today i got pulled over by the cops for "not signaling when i switched lanes". which i found odd bc i almost always do but there was no sense in argueing. anyways he proceeded to ask questions about where the car came from, how long i've had it, then asked if he could check under the hood. then it all made sense why i got pulled over. anyways i was clean obviously then they became pretty cool and just let me go. my question is i am about 2 weeks from looking to buy a stock d16 to build up and i see a ton of cheap ones on craigslist ( probably stolen) what papers should i have to prove that the motor is legit?

just ask for the vin # and you can call up the local police, or use an online service, to check if its stolen or not.
