Agreed - its not like a Ferrari or Porsche with their own brand engines in their car, but I would think any with the hand stamped Detomaso Number on the block particularly would be considered "matching numbers" even though the engines are dime a dozen 351 Ford units. I'll have to do some homework on where to find the Detomaso stamping - mine may not be original...
