Authenticity of the block wasn't the issue, others that spoke with him about it said he just doesn't care about originality (he has many modifications to the car for racing). The engine examples, however, are representative of how most people involved with these cars feel about every component/part on them, who cares about originality? There's really just a handful of owners who appreciate originality on these. Now I can certainly understand restoration shops have to make a living and can't take the time it takes to ferret out every last original component, but if one of us were to carefully inspect most cars out there, instead of putting together a list of things that were NOT original on a particular car, it would be easier to put a list together of things that WERE original.....
