Value/work load question

["sidney raper" <spl310@hotmail.com>]

All,

I am restoring a 1500, and I have a question.  I have all of the parts to 
make a complete numbers matching car, but I am beginning to wonder if it 
would be worth the work load.  To do that, I would have to switch bodies, 
engines, transmissions, rearends, etc.  (long story, but trust me - it would 
have to be done)  The purist in me says yes, but the realist says with only 
3148 having been imported, how much could it affect value if the engine did 
not match?
