3.1, to sell or not to sell?

Restoring a 90 RS with a strong running 3.1 V6. I am considering selling the V6 and swapping for a 350. How easy/hard is it to get rid of the 3.1 engines and what do they typically sell for? Thinking that if I'm going to paint, I prefer to do the engine swap before I paint. If anybody has an interest, I am located in NW Indiana.

I moved this to the Engine Swap forum.

A 3.1 will be worth a little more than a 2.8, but not much.

Re: 3.1, to sell or not to sell?

they go for 75-100 bux out here as runners with MPFI on them. they are pretty worthless, but if you can go to a pull n save yard, then you may be able to find a van 350 or something for about the same price. just plan on spending twice what you payed for the engine to do the whole swap. so if your motor costs you 500 bux, plan on another 500 at least to complete the swap.
