Re: would like some opinions on the motor
O.K. if I put the original back in should I leave it all stock?
Or do a cam change or would a cam change hurt the value of the car? thanks Donnie

Re: would like some opinions on the motor
If you swap the cam them it's not the same OEM spec'd engine. If you install a L78 cam then your cloning a L78 now.

Re: would like some opinions on the motor
How long do you plan on owning the car is the main question. If only a couple years = 2000 miles then leave the original motor in. If many years then put a great crate motor in, one even better than the original and torture the back tires, enjoy.
