No different then a 69 camaro with a blown engine and replaced with a CE warranty engine.

Good point, but not in defense of replacing the engine IMO...If comparing to 69 Z/28s, which one would you want, the car with the original "born-with" DZ 302 that burns a quart of oil every 3500 miles, or a car with a CE replacement engine with paperwork to show it was done under warranty by the local dealer? Unless Yenko, Nickey, Berger, etc. was the dealer doing the replacing, (and even then it would be a toss-up)I'm fairly certain the car with the original engine would be worth substantially more than the one without. Granted we're talking about a 2000 Camaro and not a 69, but the scenario is still similar, and will become even more so in the years to come.
