[Unreal]

I think if I were trying to pass off the car as real, or the motor as original, I would not be calling myself "Unreal" and especially would not posting the questions in the way I have been.

You are correct, Kim when you say "using up the available parts on a clone is making them less available for the real cars."
That would hold true for anything from engines to bumper bolts. You know what they say about what talks and what walks.
If someone were to make me an offer I couldn't refuse, the motor is theirs. Otherwise, I guess I'll "preserve" it in my Tribute Car, until someone wants it bad enough.

Did not mean for this to turn into another "clone" debate.
