Getting closer to decision time and I'd like to hear what the experts here on the forum think. I have the original numbered 440 from my 1972 Roadrunner GTX and it has all the original brackets, casting numbers, AC compressor ect. I've cleaned it all up and it looks very good and original. I've already decided that I'm not going to use the very good running original engine and I'm going to use another 440 I have and keep the original set aside.
Now here's the question. the "other" engine has some internal work but is still running the original OEM heads and I have a set of Headman Headers. Should I make the "other" engine look original by using the stock valve covers, AC compressor and exhaust manifolds so it looks original or use the aftermarket parts and say the heck with the OEM look. Since I'm running the OEM heads I dont think I'll lose much performance
