Make an appointment to see the auto theft investigator at the state police/trooper/highway patrol. Ask them to run the engine number for you. That will tell you if the engine is hot and perhaps what frame VIN the engine was originally installed in. Not all states register engine numbers with VIN numbers..California does.
If all is good, buy a frame with a title and mount your engine in it..

I don't think the NICB link will or can run an engine number.
AFAIK, there is only one website that will hot check an engine number. Only auto theft investigators and insurance claims agents have access to it.
