It appears to be nothing more than a like-for-like engine swap, and it probably does look worse if you've never pulled and rebuilt, built up, or replaced an engine yourself.

Sure, you'll know in your head that it isn't the same engine that went in on the production line, and if you're looking at the car in reference to it otherwise being a 100-point show car you probably will find a few little evidences here and there of the replacement.
