There is no way to determine if the engine in your car is the one it left the factory with. At any previous point in time it could have been replaced by an identical appearing engine. The number on the top of the transmission does not indicate anything about engine replacement, since the engine can be changed without changing the transmission. It will let you know the transmission case was with the car when it left the factory or it has been changed and if changed what model year the case is from.
