So,if I buy a pair of new repop casting for $2,500 rather then a original pair for about $10k(that might I have a defect)that would make my car any less real?

it is still a documented 70 w-30,which is still rare,no matter what heads are on any motor.
what people seem to forget is 455's were toast after being beat on back then,and most original motors were chucked after puking their bearings,or crank.
so not having the original motor is somewhat of a big deal,having the docs to prove it's heritage makes a difference,too.

You just need to give "Parts Joe" a chance. I am sure he will start reproducing the Oldsmobile 396021F 455 blocks among others with blank engine ID pads very soon. Maybe it will come with a complete re-stamping kit so we can all get our clone W-30s or LS-6 Chevelles perfect. Hey maybe he will also throw in a perfect reproduction broadcast sheet and OW trans tag at no extra charge. Great post Rusty-it said it all-Thanks John
