I was wondering if I could get some opinions here.

I plan to stroke the poly 318 in my 64 Belvedere this winter (was going to last winter but couldn't afford to do it right).
The car has just turned 41K and is original, clean and documented.
I'm the third owner, the second merely took it in trade for some masonry work and sold it to me.

Should I pull this engine and offer it for sale?  You almost can't hear it when it's idling it runs that smooth and burns rubber (as best a SB can) when you punch it.  Would this engine be of any substantial value to a restorer or collector or is it just me?  I have another block I can use for the stroker project but I can't help think I'm taking an original unmolested beautiful engine and ruining it (in a matter of speaking).  As much as I would like to keep original everything, am I violating some unwritten rule?  I almost feel like videotaping it just to show how well these engines run (or ran).  Maybe I'm being silly and should just use this clean block and turn it into a 500 HP monster.

What do you guys think?

Tom
