Engine would have been signed by the guy that built it. If there is no indication of this on the block or a plaque to the effect with engraved signature there, it is just a pig with lipstick. All AMG engines were signed by the ONE guy who took it from parts to testing. I am assuming there are other indication on the suspension and other AMG specific parts. Matching part numbers on the body panels, the engine # will not match the build sheet from factory.
