Restoration / Re: definative answer ? does it exist

Thank You very much for the clarification.
Next Question....Since this is not the original engine...will the fact that the engine stamp (T0617JG) indicates this engine was built in June and the car (Z11) was only built in late Feb thru early May have much of an effect on the end value? enough of an effect to go to the trouble of trying to find a block / stamped prior to car build date? I can't go 'concours' on the restoration, but I don't want one thing to be a deal killer either. This engine issue is the only issue I am aware of at this time. Rest of the car is there and I have a lot of GM parts so that is going to be correct, but I don't know how 'correct' I need to be to get the selling price out of the 'average' range. Thanks again...in advance.
