1991 Vert 3.1 V6 keep original or mod it.

I keep going back and forth on the whole beef it up or keep it original. My thoughts are that in 10 years, the car will worth a lot more money kept stock and original. I also want the power of a 350. So torn, but I think it would be best to restore the 3.1 that is in it. What are the forums thoughts on this?

you could always swap the 350, and keep all the origional parts and wiring harness intact from the 3.1.

but honestly, i dont think a 91 3.1 vert is ever going to be worth big bucks.

IMHO, mod the thing, but do it right and keep the work clean. It wont affect the value, if anything, may make it more desirable.

Only mod that's really visible anyway is headers, cam won't be, porting won't be, and I kind of agree, that it probably won't lose value from modding it, gain value if anything.
