My take on this may well not align with others thoughts here.
A CE block installed as a warranty replacement when the car was near new, in an otherwise real, legit, documented car, would be ok, but with an appropriate price adjustment. My feeling is that it's part of the legitimate history of the car. In the dealership where I was employed in the late '60's forward it was daily routine for a warranty engine replacement in some Chevy. I have a CE block in my garage.
A Yenko, COPO, Corvette, or other ultra rare muscle car with the original block unavailable, a real engine from a similar car is OK, but I'd really have to want it.
A "stamper" engine will never cross my threshold, under any circumstances!
I have walked away from otherwise great cars (ie '67 Chevelle L78) due to the last two scenario's.
Just my thoughts. - Bill W
