Maybe the Clintons have a connection to that engine.

Kent Draper certainly is interesting to read about.

One of the 10 speed Super-Duper 200mph Trans Am's that Kent Draper built was for sale on CL about a year ago, or so. The body mods were atrocious, but the drivetrain was pretty amazing.

It was posted in the on-going Craigslist thread at the time, with some discussion and various other related info links about the car and Draper.

Mac's car, and engine, only have fractional values alone.
Reunited would be another story

This seller will likely die during ownership of the engine too.
According to his price range

I run into that occasionally, and if they're real pricks about it, I then direct my response to the wife, and tell her I will buy it at the estate sale. And FWIW, it does work, you get a better deal there.

As an aside, I once asked my dad what I should get grandma (his mother) for her birthday. She was in her early 90s.

Epic answer: "Get her whatever you want, so when she dies you get it back."

"Great idea, dad. Looks like Grandma's getting a drill press."

This just goes to show you how greed has gotten out of control. Nobody gives a ****ty about nothing but money. What a damn shame our society is becoming.
