"Wonder if the "buyers remorse" or "what did I do?" ever set in when realization (too late?) value of #s matching engine."

Yea threw away some 409 exhaust manifolds when I added headers($500-600 now) and a block that had a dinged cylinder that could have bee sleeved back in high school. Blocks now go for $2K!

I have a potential for the opposite -I ordered my 78 with a W72 but missed the deadline and found a X7 code motor a few years back for $150. As well as the dealer forgot to check the WS6 box. So I have all the WS66 stff on it and the X7 on a stand if I ever want to make it like I ordered it!
