Hey guys, I got a 3.1 bird, the interior is NICE!!! everything is original. The car has been sanded, has a nice muffler too. Would it be a good idea to get a nice paint job, sell it and buy a 5.7?

well if the paint is in bad condition, i dont see the harm in getting a decent paint job for it.....if its pretty good, just get it looking as best as possible....

thats all in what YOU want...if you want a faster car then sell it for that but if you dont & your more into appearance than keep it...personally if it were me,if its runnig great & the interior is nice then id keep it & fix it up but the choice is yours!

if its a nice straight body with nice interior, plus it being a 91, i would look around with a wrecked 350 thirdgen and transfer the parts over to the nice solid car that just needs paint.

If it is a nice inside as you say it is, I would just go ahead and drop in a crate 350 with the necessary conversion parts, then paint it. Then you can keep your car and still have it fast.
