Respectfully I think the 3.4 is an exception. I have heard this from European dealers as well. Its the only accepted in period conversion (Max Morittz) and its totally hidden so the car appears visably stock. If done with Mahle and all else is stock (cases/numbers) its totally legit IMHO.

Maybe the only other example is a legit ST or RS build engine on a stock 2.2/2.4.

I presonally would pay more for a car with this conversion. I think it adds a clear 10k if done recently on a stock 3.2 with Mahle by a pro outfit like supertec. I am talking full rebuilt to 3.4.

On the other hand I agree things like different engines, PMO's etc totally devalue a car.
