It's just a battery. I have always used something cheap from WalMart
and never found one that would not crank with alacrity and start right
up... if the engine is in fine fettle.
If there is a problem with tune, ignition, fuel or the starter... a
bigger battery is not the answer.
If appearance is important then rip the labels off, put some faux
Lucas labels on and replace the 3-port cell cap with 6 vintage
individual caps:

If it is a sealed battery you can make a simple masonite topper to
simulate a traditional style:

If leakage is a concern then there are ways to limit that (at a price
and not w/o some possible prolem it seems).
