It isn't "cheating" if it was something that was allowed then, and almost
everything except the block and head (incl carbs) was considered replaceable
by aftermarket items on the engine. In the early days of allowing mods
(early 60s) it had to be a factory supplied part, but that restriction only
lasted a few years.

Wonder if SCCA has them? I have a early 50s version I found at a flea
market!
