Even an "S" car with a non-original "S" engine is worth less than a numbers-matching car. And this one with a "T" engine is worth, I would say, several $thousand less than a real numbers-matching "S". If it's not even an "S" chassis to begin with, then even worse. (Not to detract from the 911T, which is a very fine car, but we all know there is a wide spread in values between the T/E/S flavors.)
In other words, your damages are not only the difference in value between a "T" and "S" motor, you have to also factor in the diminshed value of an "S" car without its proper matching engine.
Gather up the facts - post the VIN and engine numbers and any other pertinent details - and have your lawyer chase this guy down in a hurry.
Good luck,
Chris C.
