I have spotted a low mileage cheyenne SWB with a big block, tach tilt, cruise,AC , AM/FM blah blah blah. After talking with the owner it comes out that the big block and th400 trans came out of a different truck of the same year. By running the #s on the engine it is correct for the truck although the build sheet says 350. The only dead giveaway to it not being factory is the low trans hump. My question is would this cause you to be willing to pay less for the truck? I don't want to know what it's worth, just technicaly is it worth less without the original engine even though the one it currently has is correct for the year?
