Actually, the guy said that he wouldn't entertain that, just "wanted the correct engine"
He realizes that for these cars that have been in service that long and driven hard, to still have the original engine intact is rare.
He felt that a "period correct" block would suit his needs

I rarely see a car for sale with the 'period correct' but NOM engine in it. if I do see it , it is still NOM and I would not pay any premium (certainly not 3K) over any other engine since it is still NOM.
but as I always say.. set your price high and just sit back and wait for the right buyer.

This fellow may never have it restamped but I'd bet the next guy may. Given the increase in value over a known NOM, there's a lot of temptation.
