I have a 65 that I converted to from an I6 to a V8. I would do it again. It is some work, but since the car is not a daily driver we just worked on it when we had time.

I don't agree that a buyer would kill you on the price for a converted car that had an I6 VIN. The I6 cars are not really worth all that much to begin with unless they are convertible or maybe fastback.

As far as milage goes. My car was a daily driver for a few years and got about 16-18 mpg. Now it gets about 16-17. So, the milage really isn't any different. Of course I have a T5 now.

Also, It doesn't matter what exaust you put on a 200 it will sound like a 200 not a V8.

If you want to tackle the project then I say do it. If you are happy with your car and really just want a bit more pep, the you should probably stay with the I6. You could always swap out the 200 for a 250.

The cost of the conversion could be anywhere between 2k-10k depending on what you do.
