Questions re: buying a used engine

When looking for a used engine from out of state used parts dealers (aka junkyards), what is fair information to request. Some yards will tell you mileage but are they under any legality to tell you the truth? Is there a chance that they recorded VIN from the car and can you request such information? How about a compression test?
I'd appreciate any experiences and information. It can be an expensive endeavor and I'm leery of corruption distance can afford. Local dealers have typically high mileage engines at above average prices, so I'm inclined to weigh shipping one if it's worthwhile.
