That term has been around for a while. I first remember hearing it at a BG Corvette event. It means that a correct engine (casting and date code) was broached and stamped to look like the original born with engine.

The National Corvette Restorers Society and Bloomington Gold Corvette judging rules have accepted a &quot;Restoration Engine&quot; since both of their inception. IMHO I feel they understand Corvettes were designed to be &quot;Ran Hard&quot; and most Corvette's engines never Survived the thrashing, so a casting and date code correct engine that has been broached and stamped is O.K. with them. Most Muscle car Guys look down on this as not acceptable. I guess it's all personal preference. I'm just sayin....
