Default "Original" Engine

I received some photos awhile ago of what is supposedly being claimed as the original engine from the car. It has EDC heads, aftermarket 1x4 intake, oil pan, balancer, 390 timing pointer, bolts, etc and the part number on the block - while rare and early - is not what was typically delivered in SC cars. I somehow doubt any of the internal components are original Ford either. So, even if in some remote probability the block is the original, I wouldn't say that the "motor" is original...
