I would be pretty upset to find out I bought a used car with an engine that was 5 years older than the car without my knowledge.

Happens more often then you think. Anyone here ever been pulled over or even ever had the casting number of the motor checked on there car or truck. I have never heard of this. I realize it is a epa rule but never heard of it being enforced. In ohio even when you buy a car out of state the only thing they check is the vin in the window.
