Well, not exactly, since I was never looking for the car it came from. But, regardless, I just decided not to sell it.

It isn’t that you were looking, it’s that it was found and reuniting such a RARE car with its numbers matching motor is both rare and an honor. That’s how I feel anyway

I’m VERY impressed with this post.
It’s impressive that one would feel this way. Maybe after the car is together something will change . If it doesn’t that’s up to the engines current owner, it sucks but I’m sure there’s a reason .( Maybe the owner of that engine only trusts that machine shop or whatever. )
I know I’d sure like to have my original block if I could find it, so I certainly feel for the owner of the car that is missing it
At the same time I’m sure the owner of the engine has his reasons . Let’s hope that there’s a solution there somewhere .

I kind of wish I hadn’t asked (first) now but I’m sure someone else would have, and I didn’t know anything about the former talks about the correct vin block and car being reunited .

What a shame not to reunite your ‘spare’ non original engine with the original car it came out of. It’s so rare that that happens and chances are you’re never going to reinstall it given the sheer pleasure you’ll get out of the new motor, let alone the expense of building it. I would think with the money you could sell it for, you’d be able to buy any stock RAIII block you like, if for some reason you feel like you need a spare non original block to keep with the car. Oh well, hopefully that motor will reunite itself back with its original chassis after your stewardship ends. Things tend to work out in the end I suppose. FWIW.

Wow, that is too bad. I hope it wasn’t over money. This was the needle haystack situation. Maybe someday you will reconsider and the motor can be reunited with the car.
