Sad story - hope you can work it out, shame there are the occasional jerks that show up with someone else's drivetrain.
Take heart - there's always hope. I own a matching-numbered L78 with a damaged engine block - came with a spare L78 block, surprised to find that the car it was from still existed. I offered the engine (bare block) to the owner for $1500 first, he said too much, so I asked him to find a 272 block close to my date and we would swap even (plenty around), he wouldn't agree to that either. I eventually gave up -
Regards,
Steve
