Fantastic!
Nice to have all the original parts if you decide to keep the car stock.
I built a mild stock 455 for my 72 GT, and simply set the original 350 on a stand in the corner of the shop as others have mentioned. I've learned that I enjoy the car much more this way.
Should I ever decide to sell the car, I would simply put the original 350 back in, and sell it that way. Most guys will want to install their own drivetrains, so original engines really never go back into a car once they're out.
That being said, put in what you want for now to enjoy, but keep the original in the corner for the day you decide to sell, then return it to original condition. Let the next guy decide what he wants to do with it then.
