The original block to #54 (as they refer to it in the auction) was in the NCOA giveaway car, and has since been decked and restamped to match the giveaway car (an absolute shame). The #54 car was believed to be lost forever, and suddenly surfaced at a cruisein in CA being driven by an 80 year old man who had had it in his basement since 1968.

I read this to say the motor was in the giveaway car, and was decked and restamped after the car was given away (key word "since"). If I owned #54 I would try to get that block back even with the restamp. You would still have the original block back where it belongs and it sounds like you could document the original stamp as well as the restamp.
