I reunited the original L37 IX block with Z16 Chevelle 5K167816 for ZERO dollars profit.
Gentleman who had the BARE block wanted me to give him $20K for it when I was trying to buy the car. So I passed on both. Then the car was bought by someone else, and that fellow told the gentleman with the block to pound sand when he heard that price.
A year later the gentleman with the block needs cash quick and offers it to me for $3K. Had he done that to begin with I would have the car (with block) today. I told him to sell it to the car owner and he said no, that guy won't speak to him about it (and who could blame him, right?)
So I called the car owner and told him I could get the block for $3K, and it was his for $3K if he wanted it. He agreed, I bought the block, he drove 500 miles to my house and picked it up.
And justice prevails!
