What adjustment should be made to a used car value after a new engine (OEM) is installed?
I'm looking for an older car. A few that I have found have relatively new or low-mile replacement engines. What adjustment (how much) should I allow for the newer engine?

None IMO. A car is supposed to have a functioning engine and unless the replacement is a seriously modified upgrade to the factory engine, I don't see any reason to either add or deduct value for it.
