I would think it could only be considered original if it had the motor that came in it from the factory

And in the absence of factory records (very few exist correlating engine #s to vehicle numbers), as long as the engine has an engine # with the correct range for that year and model, who would know what motor # it originally had? In your quest for a definition of "original", there are as many definitions of it as there are people willing to offer one. For a starter you might want to look at AACA's HPOF criteria (historic preservation of original features).
