I am 99.9% sure I will be getting the original engine back this Thursday. Spoke to the PO today and he seems like he would like to have the 350 engine I bought a few weeks back. If it goes down, I will stick it in the corner after I take what I need off of it. (intake, carburetor, distributor, etc.) I figure why risk grenading the orginal short block and cylinder heads?

I'm sure some wonder why go through the trouble... the partial VIN will help verify the car. Doubt I'll ever sell it, but to me it's pretty neat to have the "born with" parts.
