A guy I know is having a new Z06 crate motor from Chevy put in his 2004 coupe 6 speed. Does this make the car worth more or less due to it not being an OEM engine that came in the car. The engine will have the 3 year 36000 warrenty from GM. Thanks Mark

Just a heads up and I have no idea if this matters or not, but the transmissions are different from coupe to Z06.

C5s have zero value as collectables right now. They are depreciating just like any other used car.

A factory new engine with a warranty will add value to the car. Especially if it is professionally installed and documentation is in hand.
