:exp:Is there any way of matching an engine serial number on a 2003 4.0 sport to the VIN to ensure the engine belongs in that vehicle?

you want to find out whether the motor in a vehicle is the original one that came with that vehicle? then yes, try to find the vin on the engine and match it up with the one on the the body.

I found my answer, the engine s/n is located on the rear driver's side block just below the cylinder head mating surface. the last five numbers match the last five of the vehicle VIN. The s/n is very hard to read, it looks like it is put on with a vibrating pen.
