Holding an engine hostage is just BS. I went through this when I found the original motor for my LS6. Alot of greedy, money hungry people out there that hurt the hobby more than they help it. </div></div>

Agreed! I'm in a similar boat on another matter. May I ask what would be a fair way of determining a value for an original matching born-with motor? For starters... I would say its more than the value of the motor as a dated core (to be fair to the seller of the motor), and less than the value the matching motor adds to the car (to be fair to the owner of the car). Just how much does a born-with motor add to the value of a rare car?
