Yep, it does sound like bull. Have the fella take a nice slow 360 degree vid of the engine and then post it. If he doesn't know how to do that tell him to have his grandkids do it for him. It is generally much harder to prove authenticity than it is to disprove it. But if it is an FE that was pulled when it was brand-spanking new, and has remained unmolested for 42 years, then that alone will come across in the vid. Maybe we can save you the cost of a plane ticket.
