Original matching 390 remanufactured vs reproduction 390
Hi there, I'm new to this forum so apologies ahead of time if this has been discussed in the past.
I've got a 63 galaxie 500 XL fastback that I'm in the process of rebuilding (Original owner). My question is whether I should put in a reproduction re-manufactured 390 or take my existing 390 (Z code) all original and send that in for re-manufacturing. Is having matching numbers that important?
I plan on keeping this car. The difference in price from what I'm seeing between going with a reproduction re-manufactured 390 vs re-manufacturing my original is about $2500 for re-manufacturing the original 390. Is it worth keeping the original?
Looking for opinions.
Thanks,
