Just to clarify, 'matching numbers' and 'original engines' are totally different things.
Welcome here and best of luck w/ your quest!

Yes, thanks Pete, you are correct, the "numbers" on this car he is offering match the vin, however it's my opinion it is not the "original engine" the car was born with.
I'm still trying to figure out how to break the news to him, I don't want to say "restamp", so I'm thinking "inconsistent with other known examples". Thanks again for the input!
