Looking for opinions.
You have a 63 or 64 full size Chevy any model and the VIN tag says it is a 6 cylinder car. You are planning on putting a 409 in it. You have the opportunity to buy a QA or QB engine assembly that is build dated 4-5 weeks before your car was built. Remember the vin on the block & car will not match. The VIN says it is a 6 cylinder car and you cannot change that. Would you pay a premium price for said engine since the dates fit so perfectly. Or just make it look correct since you cannot change the vin. Not trying to pull a fast one, just want it to be a nice car that looks the part. Since it is a 6 cylinder vin I personally think a "correct dated" engine would not add any value to the car.
