I wonder why even worry about restamping or rewelding? It's a 383 car. If it's documented and disclosed the car suffers, if it's done and sold, the buyer suffers, if litigated the deed-doer suffers. A whole lot of suffering going on.
Without restamping, it remains what it is, a car with replacement metal. If it's restamped it becomes what it is, a car wrapped in deceit. This is one of the reasons that I feel better about my GTS having a 1970 engine than a "date correct" 340 that I (and others) know to not be original to the car. If I could track down the original block and verify it with the people who were involved I would like to have it, but to me it's a more "honest" car as it sits.

There was a case in CA a few years ago, a 1968 Barracuda being sold with a 1969 VIN & title.
The CHPs investigated.
They contacted the NICB with the SO number on the body & they linked it to the original VIN.
The seller had the title & dash VIN seized since they did not match the car & he was given the forms to apply for a state issued VIN since there was no record of the '68 being stolen.
The body numbers are legal identifiers even on the older cars. So Barry the NICB has the records to match a Body SO to a VIN for 68 and down cars ? OP , you are in Sweden and you don't have to adhere to US Law when it comes to how you remedy this situation ... but I think the thread has given you the answer
running up my post count some more .
