Default Re-stamped engines and Lowering Miles

I have just found out about a car on THIS site, and eBay that was from my home town. The car was, and has been a Canadian car for I think about 15 years, since I bought my Nova in or around 1995 and I think Jimmy had this car at the time, or shortly thereafter. The car was and is a 1970 Nova SS396. Now I think it had around 70K miles on it then. and the car NEVER had the original motor? Now I see the car for sale? DOCUMENTED and NUMBERS MATCHING with 31000 miles? Now I figured the guy who just bought the car within the last year MUST have re-stamped a block, since it was long gone, and turned back the miles? IS THIS RIGHT? Is this normal in the high-dollar car market? I know here in Ontario that tampering with the odometer of a car is illegal? What do you guys here think about this??
