Re: Original motor vs. replacement
Here is my .02 as well. My COPO does not have its original motor and I am almost glad that it doesn't. In todays market with all the " SH%#TY" people restamping motors to "make" a numbers matching car, and with the type of use these cars were intened for, flags always wave when a car states it has the "original numbers matching motor" I feel My CE block is acceptable for these cars as they were raced pretty hard. It helps that I have build sheets, POP imprints, the warranty repair order for the motor and other docs to back the car up. Does it hurt the value?? it may but not a substantial amount..the car is what it is and no one can change that.
