A question about tech , and value later on . Have the numbers

matching original motor out of the car in storage . Put in another built 340 for driving, would it hurt the value of the car down the road (if I decide to sell it ) if I put a roller cam in the original motor ? Since the motor is out on a stand and easy to work on should I put in a roller cam , or would that lessen the value ? On one hand it would be more reliable , not having to add zinc additive , and who knows how long that will be around before it is outlawed .

This original motor will only be used when the car is for sale , leave it stock or roller ?

I'd leave it stock. Let the new owner decide what they want to do with it if and when it comes to that.

Leave it stock and put the roller in the spare 340

That will be easy . When and if the motor in now needs a rebuild it will get a roller . To bad I didn't think about that when I had the motor rebuilt , after 20 years of not playing with cars you take a while to catch up .

1 stock vehicle in a 1000 will be worth more then all the rest, but then again there are those cars which are modified which surpasses the stocker's value all day long. When I hear stock I think of a car that doesn't leave the garage or showroom. Who drives a vehicle without disc brakes, radial tires and listens to A M radio? I know I don't.

To each his own and if I actually had to make up my mind by another person's advice, I'd scrap everything and buy more guns

I drive the car , has radials , disk brakes and why the **** listen to the radio when I can listen to the motor sing ?
