So what are peoples take on this? IF an original body IS located, yet motor and trans long gone, is it ok to restamp the block/cases and pass it off as numbers matching???? Is it legal to knowingly restamp a block and say it's the original? Like swapping tags???
Reason is for this:

As I said in this thread, "In a case where a high value car (such as this Chevelle) the re-stamp or "matching numbers" only leads to one thing, HIGHER SALE PRICE. I personally look at cars that are "NUMBERS MATCHING" as born with parts and therefore more original and subsequently worth or valued higher. "
Seem quite obvious that the block has been restamped since they went there separate ways years ago. BUT yet advertised as "numbers matching" now
