I am doing a 5.0 swap. How will this effect my resale?

Quik

a swap from a 4cyl to a v8. why does it matter.
v8 to a v8 nothing really.

4 cyl to a v8. it should raise the resale a lot right?

probably not. they will think some dumbass did it and they wont give you the proper props. i guess it depends on where you will try to sell it. ebay and paper you will get more, but not if it is used for a trade in.

you'll get a few bucks..you might break even on the deal.....but you'll reap the benfits of lower taxes,ins if you quite

Why would you want to sell? Drive it till its dead, or you are. Hell I just got in an accident with me 4 cyl and it still runs. I have a custom hood now, and the radiator leaks, but it runs.

Depends on where you try to sell it.A private party will give you more than trade in.It also depends on how well you did your swap.This really should not be something you car about if you are going to the time to swap it over.

I wouldnt dream of selling my 89 and i have built her from the ground up.

To me it could be worth a dollar to everyone else or hell even a million but to me its priceless.

I could win the lottery and my 89 lx coupe would still be held at a higher value than my new ferrari.LOL seriously

yeah, me too. you develop a love for the car when you work on it constantly and there is nothin like the thump of an american V8. you dont get that same feeling with a ferrari that you dont do any work to. i wouldnt get a ferrari anyways, i would get a ford GT
