    Assuming your Grabber has a V-8 and is balls of fun to drive - I would soup up the six and keep the original parts.

    A hopped up six is much more interesting to some lookers at cars shows - and like someone else said; they don't laugh at them like they used to. Besides; it saves gobs of space in the engine bay to show off all the other shiny bits you're going to put in.

    Our local cruise last summer had some awesome cars - but the one I remember vividly right now was a beautiful, stock looking Hurst Valiant with a slant six, 4 bbl, 4 speed, white with black stripes, steel wheels with hub caps, totally original looking and gorgeous. I am doing my 6 cyl. Comet like that and it still gathers attention even without a hood scoop and a V-8.
