Worth going to 350 ?

I know there were alot of our cars built. With that said, I have a 1990 Formula with most options, T-Tops,5 speed,power everything,ect. My car has 163K miles,but runs fine for now. OK I want to redo the whole car. Looking down the road a few years,would it hurt any value of my car to change over to a 350 l98 longblock with my TPI ? I know it probably is not ever going to be a collectors car but would like some input and opinions. Its not going to be a race car but would like some more power if its not going to hurt anything...Thanks

One would think the factory L98 cars would be the ones with higher future collector value.

When in doubt, don't do anything irreversable and keep what you take out in the corner of the garage.
