400..sell or keep?
The 400 that came in my 68 442 is torn down, stacked under my work bench.
I need opinions on whether or not it is important to keep with the car if and when the car is ever sold.
I replaced the 400, with a 455 and never plan on putting the 400 back into the car.
Should I sell or keep?
Thanks,
Ted

You need to keep it. Resale will be more with it. The bigger issue will be desirability. The higher value is not huge but desirability is huge. If for some reason you needed to sell it because of some unforeseen event it will be MUCH easier to sell if you have the original engine. Even more so on a 68-69 because 400 engines are very hard to find.

yes times 100
I agree with what you are doing I running 455s as I am doing the same w one if not two of mine 68/69 400 cars.
Plain and simple just not the greatest motor
Also even know in 68 most made 442s , try finding a G block easy

Thanks for the replies...just ask and you shall receive...that is what I like about CO
Next question is should I put the engine back together.? I would be looking at around 1500to 2000$....or is the fact that I have it good enough.....

I'd just keep it oiled up and dry.
