To swap, or not to swap?!
The vin shows the car to have had a 400ci but I believe it has a 307 in it now. I'm unsure which will help the most with resell value, putting a small block 400 back in it or a 400ci LS.
What are your thoughts.... and go!

That's what I was leaning towards.
Since building a 400ci out of an LSX Block (4.125 bore/3.75 stroke) is out of my price range, Ive been tossing around the idea of getting 400ci out of an LQ4/9 (4.040 bore/3.90 stroke)

I don't really have a budget set... Im just trying to get a game plan together whatever the cost. If it's to outrageous it'll just take more time.
I know the 400 would be cheaper but I'm thinking power, reliability, drivability etc. I don't have much experience with the older engines so I'm unsure of their capabilities.
