242, to V8 or not??? 200

Hello all! We just picked up yet another car - count them - 1,2,3,4,...10! The latest is a 242, not sure what year, dunno how many miles are on the stock engine, the guy was going to scrap it!! so we offered $100 and there you go. Sweet looking car, body seems to be in good shape - that's about all I know - its up at my Uncle's for now. After some fixer-ups here and there its going to be for sale, but the real question is - should we drop the low-mileage V8 in it, or sell it stock? Which would you pay more money for?

Thanks!
