So if I don’t say anything and just get the Rwc should it be fine as the engine number is the same at the start
Engineering aside, if the car has been registered with the new engine number before you take ownership it will transfer across with ease.
If you get a friendly mechanic, again it will transfer to your name with ease.
BUT it becomes a very grey area with insurance, and you still run the risk of a cluey cop or vicroads rep giving you a defect over it.
