Numbers Match What ??
Thought I had seen everything related to abuse of the term numbers matching. Now a Corvette/Truck engine advertised as 'numbers matching' with no car to go with it?

I got that. Seems the seller is suggesting this may be of interest to someone with a 74 missing an engine? A candidate for restamping? First I've seen this term applied to just an engine.

He's got a sense of humour at least.
The casting date is J1073 which is October 10 1973. This engine would suit a vehicle built from maybe Oct 25th 1973 onwards, not the Feb- April period the seller mentions.

I've seen people on this forum do the same thing in the Parts For Sale section. An engine, by itself, with "matching numbers." I'd ask what the engine numbers "match" and I get the typical crickets. Duh.
