I agree with Kevin and Banshee completely. There was a huge online argument over on PY last summer with a guy who was "building" a 'numbers matching' 400 convertible. He kept interchanging "numbers matching", "born with" and "numbers correct" terminology. I kept calling him out stating that those were three completely different terms. He insisted those terms all meant exactly the same thing.
The thread got quite heated, and ultimately he was banned from the site. (he liked to use naughty words a lot)
I know he was still selling cars after the fact on Epay, still interchanging that terminology.
Sigh.
BTW, I think what acenho meant by his 'lucky' statement was that you found the original, born-with, engine. I didn't take it as finding a block with the correct part number on it. But I could see it interpreted either way.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
