Re: numbers matching 87 formula
If the guy has a car without a matching engine number to his VIN, and is looking for the original engine... chances are it was removed for a reason and/or the engine is long since gone. It is far more difficult to locate an original engine from your car than it would be to actually find an actual car you sold years ago... especially if you have no clue where the engine is...
