Thanks for the input. Personally I think any #'s matching motor is worth keeping but thats just me. But with my L82 only 5,069 were made, so it should be a decent collectable someday. Also, 1980 was the last year of the L82.

I probably wasnt to clear with the question. What I was wondering was should I: Rebuild The original motor as stock and put in back in. Buy a Crate Motor, and save the original motor to put back in later. Have a Custom built motor from my local engine builder off of a new block and save the...
