If you didn't buy the car to be a matching numbers collectors item then who cares, hopefully what you paid for the car reflects the motor that's in it, and was a good deal and just like others have said a few more options and having an iron block.
However, the guy is a dirtbag. Guarantee he knows what engines in it, because doesn't he have supposedly "ls crazy techs" that work for him?
No I don't think it's anything worth going to court over, but he does need a square punch in the nose, and then you could call it even.
So sick of people taking advantage of people.

The sad thing is I am not the person to typically be taken advantage of. I walked away from a number of other cars because I didn't like the feeling I got from talking to the owner/dealer. I usually have a pretty good perception about people's honesty, so I am surprised he lied. It was purely just my forgetfulness of not checking the head numbers before I bought the car, because I had told myself to do so before I drove to take a look at it.
At this point it is what it is. I still want to talk to the guy just to see what he says, but I am not going to make a big deal about it if he just says "tough". The car is still fun, and is in good shape overall.

So just an update, I finally got around to calling the seller today. Said that the only thing he knew about the donor vehicle was that it was an Escalade, so LQ9. From what he said, it sounded like he honestly thought the motor was an LS2.
However, being a LQ9 is really better all around other then from a weight perspective compared to the LS1. Better heads, higher compression then the LS1, and a little more displacement. So I am pretty happy, just glad its not a LQ4. I think I will still try to look at the serial number again when I get a chance to be sure, but for now I am going to go with that it is an LQ9.
