There's the dillemma -- that I've never had, lucky or otherwise -- of a
rare (here) car either being correct and undrivable, or incorrect and
fun. Eg. that motor. I would FAR PREFER!!!! a triple-carb inline six
over a v8 of any brand, any day! No offense meant to AMC V8's. But if
parts are simply unattainable, and the car is such that it's not a
one-off, just a rare production car, I'd probably stick in a motor of
similar "spirit" in the car and drive the hell out of it.
