DON'T GIVE UP ON FINDING THAT ORIGINAL ENGINE!!!!!

[RARERTSE]

After 20 years of owning my RT/SE SUNROOF car, I found the original numbers engine block for my car!!!!   If you know the car has been in the area for a long time just keep talking to others who are into MOPARS.  Funny thing is he was a friend of a friend and a guy I occasionally spoke to for probably 12 years but never mentioned specifics of my car to him.  About a month ago the subject came up and showed some pics and details about my car, a couple more weeks and conversations and I get a call saying "Holy crap I have your engine block!"  Thankfully, he is a REALLY good guy and is willing to sell the bare block to me but I decided to ask him to do a full rebuild on it for me as well as he is a MOPAR FREAK and does restoration work in the area.  I know I will get a HIGH QUALITY build and I could swing some more money to him than just buying the block from him.
