Later Porterfield found the block to # 26 and did a complete build up of the engine with a magazine covering it and even invited the guy to be part of the article. Guy still would not trade. Porterfield gave up and sold the engine to Heartbeat City. When I bought # 3 from Porterfield I then bought the engine from Heartbeat thinking I could get the deal done but just wasted my time. I offered to trade plus cash, Offered to buy him a car etc. When the guy dies the engine will probably get put into the correct cars.
