Just my 2 cents...................And I am looking to buy a used Corvette.
As a potential Used Corvette buyer, I would not even consider purchasing a Corvette, Z06, or ZR1 that had the engine replaced, even with a brand new one. I would also be concerned that the next buyer (the one who would buy the car from me 10 or 20 years later) would offer much less for it, should I decide to sell.
Any chance you have the 60 day retun policy? If it were me, and I had that, I would tell them that I changed my mind.
But, as long as you are happy....enjoy your Vette.

Hey, you got a free engine! Isn't that awesome?
Instead of a car with eight thousand miles on it you have a car with zero miles on it and slightly used tires!
All I'd do is plead with them to give me the old motor for parts.
