Can't you buy some sort of gift card (like a generic Visa or AmEx card), buy the engine with that card, then pick it up in Reno and give some bogus address?

Guess you just need to have one of our members in another state buy it for you (Utah or Oregon maybe?) . Then pay them and have it shipped to you.

Drive there and pay in cash.

I doubt that would work.

Years ago I tried to buy a plastic 5 gallon gas can at Summitt in Reno. I knew they wouldn't ship it to my home in California (order was denied on-line) so I figured I would outsmart them by doing it in person.

When I arrived at the store and tried to check out they asked to see my drivers license as they were prohibited from selling certain items to California residents and as Reno is so close to California, they are required to check ID.

I got a local resident to buy it for me.
