If you want to go to the trouble of finding a 308 block with a cast date of two to three months before the build date of your car no one will ever know it is not the original engine to the car. From what I've seen a non original engine doesn't seem to de-value Sandmans by too much as long as it is a red motor and not out of a Statesman.
