Some Backyard Wrenching with the Kiddos

One of the biggest challenges I face is the VIN is a 351 2V Mach1 and the sticker in the door is med bright yellow exterior and ginger deluxe interior. Most of me wants to keep that. My grandfather's '70 Boss 302 was yellow with a brown interior. That was part of the attraction to this car for me. Part of me wants to rebuild to a 4 barrel with ram air and go blue exterior with a black/gray interior or a green exterior with the ginger or black interior. I wrestle with this several times a day in my head. I know the value is in rebuilding to the sticker. I also know I plan to keep this till I die. So... What is everyone else's opinion? Keep it pure or do what I want to MY car. I've also thought about rebuilding my block as a 400.
