I have said it before, and I am going to say it again, after number matching, numbers correct is the next best thing;
The only way that it can get in between numbers matching and numbers correct, is if it's numbers correct AND date correct.
Very few of these cars still have their original born-with drivetrain, so finding one with it, or reuniting one with the other is a pretty rare deal.
I hope this works out to be something that is agreeable for both parties, because I'd be hard pressed to let got of a correct 1970 WS motor, for an original WS powered car.
I put my YZ engine on that list;
And even put out a "wanted" incase my car's original motor is out there.

On the subject of re-stamping blocks....I believe that most high end professional car restorers have no qualms about re-stamping blocks,etc...in their quest for a "perfect" restoration".......
Not sure if I agree or not......but there is prolly a lot more of it going on than we care to know about
