'Value' is very subjective. To maintain it's value, I'm of the opinion that you should keep it as original as possible. "Drivability"? Original '34's as Henry built them have excellent drivability. When maintained properly, the original engine and mechanical brakes work just as good as what you are planing to do to the car, so why do it? You'll save time an money by keeping it as original as possible. Post a picture of the car....
