I've been thinking very hard about this and I'm split down the middle! Keep my 1987 Monte Carlo 305 or go with the LS3! If I'm playing for keeps then all signs point to the LS3! But if I keep the factory engine and numbers matching then it'll sell for more! double edge sword!

Yeah, but how much more? If its a cherry, low mileage car, keeping it bone stock is always the best bet. otherwise, a lot of modern swaps add value to a car, if done properly. Just my opinion.
