Should i keep the stock motor?

Well, i just got done pulling my stock 305 tpi which has a little over 81k miles on it. I really want to keep the motor and other stock parts so that i can say that i have a numbers matching car in the future. I hope to keep the car for as long as i can! Is it worth it or should i sell all of the parts. From the looks of things on this board, everyone ir tearing up their f-bodies! Would i be wasting my time or not, what do you think, thanks!

up to you and how you use your car. there are so many bolt ons for fbodies you can go as fast as your budget allows and if you save the parts you can put it back any time you want.

my opinion is that these cars were meant to be enjoyed and ill keep upgrading mine as long as my wallet holds out, and drive the snot out of it

Sorry, what i meant is, that i just got a new crate motor with basically everything new for it, probally a new rear soon as well! I was asking if it would really be worth it to save all of the stock parts for the future! I think that if i can find the room, i will. thanks
