I have a 1932 Ford 5 window coupe that was converted to a hot rod in 1949 and driven until Dec.1956 when it was placed in storage along side a 1957 Chev. V8 powerpac that was purchased as a total wreck with the idea of replacing the 8BA with the powerpac V8.A complete Hurst conversion kit was in the trunk of the 1932 but the car owner got married in 1957 and the old hot rod was forgotten as higher priorities occurred.Do I diminish the value of the coupe by installing the Chev V8 with the Hurst kit or leave the flathead,wich runs well in the car.The car is a full fendered ,original paint car.I don't know what to do !
