I would have to say that stamping the vin in the block is not just shady but completely wrong. Even if you were to eventually sell the cars as an non #S matching car, it would still lead to misrepresentation down the road. It screws up the market for the car.

If the car does not have its original engine.....it isnt a thoroughbred.....period.
