Thanks Joe, I never met Mark Lincoln but I have spoken to him and he told me the story about his block. My situation is just like his. I am signed up to bring my car to the Boston regional in September if all goes well so if you are there and you see the white/red 435 convertible ( Canadian export car ) stop by. Don

Re: Exact consequences
Hi Don:
I'll be at the Boston Regional, so I'll try to stop by and say hello. Since our chapter is hosting the event, I'll be "working" most of the time, but I think my involvement will be mostly in getting the cars parked in the exhibition hall on the first day and then getting them out on the last day. On top of this I will also have my 67 red/black 300 HP there for flight judging, so it should be a busy time.
I think you have made the right choice in leaving your pad alone. You will get all but 25 of the 350 points for the block, and you will completely avoid the whole restamping controversy. Spend the $$ that would have gone into the restamping on something else and try to get back those 25 points.
By the way, Mark Lincoln says that on one of the occasions that his car was judged, the Mechanical team missed the fact that his VIN derivative did not quite match the VIN of his car. He pointed it out to them later, much to everyone's amusement. Having done some Mechanical judging myself, I can see how that is an easy oversight to make. -
Re: Exact consequences
Hi Joe, Thanks for your reinforcement. I truely feel better about leaving the pad alone. To me it is more "real" than a restamped motor knowing that this motor was actually on the assembly line in 1967 and quite possibly could have wound up in my car. I look forward to meeting you at the regional. Don.Comment
