Smart move. Apparently a large number are driving cars with re-stamped blocks of varying quality anyway. Kind of hard to fault someone for wanting to join the crowd. We don't get overly excited over date-coded replacement glass, replacement radiators, or repro exhaust manifolds - just engine blocks. Unless he tries to pass it off as the assembly line installed original engine - I don't care. And the fact that he or a successive owner might just underscores paying a high premium for a supposedly original motor is a very risky and possibly disappointing endeavor.
My cars have "matching numbers" just because that's what was in them when I made my purchase. I didn't go out hell-bent, loaded for bear looking for matching numbered cars - not my first priority in a purchase... And, anybody buying a matching numbers, big money BB without documented provenance back to Moses deserves what they get...

Just because a pad does not receive a deduct does not necessarily mean that it is not undetectable. Just sayin.
