Adam said: And if I did, who wants to buy a Vette that has a working engine in it, take that out, rebuild the original engine, and put the original back in, and now have another engine sitting around?!?

That's exactly what happened to me! The PO took out the original engine, had it on a stand and it needed to be rebuilt. I'm looking around right now for a good shop to rebuild it for me.
