I have a show quality numbers matching 1969 camaro SS with a 350/300. I have all the numbers parts however because I like to have fun with it over time a have changed the heads, intake, exhaust, and cam. I have the original components in my garage - so if I every decide to sell it I can still get a good value for a numbers car. Here is the deal though. I have to do a rebuild and I would like to stroke the motor but I do not want to jepordize the numbers block (ie blowing it up).
From a cloectors point of view, would I be better off pulling the original engine out - rebuild that to stock specs and keep it on the side. Or Stroke the original motor, and if I ever sell the car I have all the # parts to go with it. If I decided to do this and put the original heads, exhaust etc back on the car - would it matter or would anyone really know the difference?
I am on the fence on what to do, what do you think.
