A non matching engine is not uncommon after all these years. But why on earth would
anyone get the idea to register the car under the engine number and not the VIN
identity of the car/chassis ?? If indeed at one point of time the fire-wall was changed
(which I am pretty sure it was NOT) and taken from a donor car, why then,
not (cut out the VIN from the old) change the fire-wall VIN to match the engine and
the VIN of the project-base and ,correct’ car ??
However, as rust issues have to be addressed anyhow, this ,problem’ could be
,solved’ by the new owner in the process ??
Is there perhaps an issue with VIN 224 0704 ??
