Your car will be more valuable if it has "matching numbers". This means the original engine that came from the factory. This may be imortant to you down the road. I'm not sure where these are on that engine but if you have it rebuilt try to preserve these in some way if it becomes an issue. The engine builder will know.

ok. the main reason i want to rebuild an engine is just to have a project. I guess I don't have to rebuild an L-98, but it would make me more familiar with the engine I have.I have a 1948 Chevrolet Stylemaster and a 1978 Chevrolet Camaro, I had a 1985 Chevrolet Corvette. Im 18.
