Restoration / Re: re-stamping a block

This boils down to a question of ethics.  If you lost your drivers license and it was cheaper to go down to Los Angeles to buy a replacement would you do it, most likely not because you would be encouraging the criminal element.  I think the same applys here, the shops that do this type of work on not making money helping out poor guys who "mistakenly" ground off their Vin and engine numbers, they are making money helping people fake high dollar cars to get more money out of the sale at some point.  I wouldn't restamp it because you cannot control the guy who owns the car 3 owners down the line who is selling it as original, someone will get burned by this car at some point.
