back in the late 80's I bought a 396 for one of the chevelles I built
ended up being the original motor from that car
the guy said he bought it from a guy who had spun some rod bearings and replaced the engine and sold that engine to this guy
small world or I just got real lucky
I'd say I got real lucky
as for you good luck I think you are going to need plenty of it

I heard some time ago some guy put out a APB on his motor and actually found it through some advertising. I bet it cost him a bunch to find it.I dont have that kind of money though.
