I would bet that he had a long list of guys just waiting for a pull out so they could stuff it in their '55 or '57 chev or something else. Those were valuable motors to the average working hotrodder and Joel would have no problem disposing of them. In fact given the cost of the new motor and the resale of the used L-78 he would have been coming out pretty well $$$. The difference would not be anywhere near as much if he sold the old motor retail.
