My vote...yes!!...but it is your car!!
" Each of us has an idea of what we want out of the
completed car - for some it is a beautiful concours, from factory ride. For
others it may be a nice '10 footer'. Some enjoy being steward to a car
which
requires regular setting of points, others make concessions to modern
conveniences like electronic ignitions, and spin on oil filters. I see how
what I was considering is infinitely more egregious than installing a 5-spd
OD, but in the grand scheme does it matter as long as you're pleased with
what is sitting in the garage? "
Here here!! very nice and articulate response. Welcome aboard Bill. You have
arrived!!
And so now you can see how the engine rebuild thread was a relevant topic
since Bill is considering all ideas!!
