Used engine questions
 
So I spun a bearing and recently bought a used motor. It came from a 2016 with 57k miles on it but when i inspected it after delivery it had a 13-14 engine harness and coil packs so it looks like the car it came from had replaced their original motor at some point.So a couple questions while I decide what to do with this unknown year/mileage motor

1) is there anything on the motor that could be used to look up info on it such as the year it was produced or linking it to a VIN?

2) compression was 210-212-200-205. Leakdown was 2%-3%-3%-3%
Leakdown seems good but the compression seems a little low? Just wondering from people who know more than I do if it seems like a healthy engine.

Should have a VIN on the motor somewhere right?

I didnt see it anywhere but it is on pallet right now. Hoping maybe someone could point to where it is. There were some stamps on the back of the block that I saw but not a VIN

Here are the stampings and tag of a 13’ block I have. I don't know if this is helpful. What I would assume is the vin plate is on the passenger side towards the bottom.
