It’s worth it for you and the owner of your original engine if you bought them a nice, hot Chevy crate motor for $9,000-12,000 to get your motor back.

I wish it were that simple! I haven't spoken to them in a while. It was a clear no the last time but they know I'm willing to work something out. Hopefully with time something can be done, this is a special car and it would be great to have it's born with heart reunited to the car.

I’m in the same boat.
Just reversed. I have my original l78 but person won’t sell me back the car.
