I see where you are going with the next question regarding the GM engine stock source. All I can say is I don't know the answer. Same is true regarding whether the dealer would xxxx out the VIN. My guess is probably not.
From what I understand, engine replacement was not a common ocurrence and this double VIN engine deal is probably a one-of-a-kind happening and that's how the VIN escaped intact on the 1st engine.

And the strange 'OP's block restamp is probably a one of a kind as well. As a longtime NCRS member we have attempted to deal with these issues on the judging field, like a 87 Calloway at a Denver Regional with only 1000 miles that was not judged because the "B2K" was missing on the SPI. We went around and around to try and figure out why it appeared to be a factory B2K but was delivered to Calloway without the B2K. Or why my 84 with 3000 miles has tires that are 1 month newer then the car but no evidence has ever been shown that they were changed. Or why #004 has non ZR-1 seats and radio.
Not that #2299 will ever be judged or need to justify the stamp, I am very curious how two stamps in two places were wrong.
I alway like to try and wrap my brain around these even though I have no skin in the #2299 game.
