Comment re "real" vs. other Spyders.

By now, many, many engines have been changed over the years. I personally 
wouldn't rely on the block or head codes to determine if a "Spyder" was 
original or not. Until recently, and even now for many, the correct "numbers 
matching" components haven't meant much.
