Default Not numbers matching

My wife and I were watching some show the other night and she has heard me talk a lot about numbers matching cars etc... Then I saw a gal that had her headlights reworked (if you know what I mean) and I said she had aftermarket parts installed and my wife said, "Yep she ain't numbers matching anymore!" I got a kick out of it. Its funny how our hobby infiltrates other areas of our lives!

The numbers still match. She just increased the cubic inches.

You know what we always say on here, "this thread is useless without pics!!"

Need before & after shots to determine if the work is NCRS quality.

I agree, even in NCRS, a "worked" engine is still #s matching if it is the original driveline. A .030 job is still #'s matching if it is the original block.....Remember, it's not what's inside the block, just what shows on the outside........explain this to your wife....it helped me.
