I, personally, would rather maintain the originally of the car also given the chance and ability. But, the original engine may be spoken for already. This is something I am still sorting out. Second, I was approached about another 1939 engine that a gentleman wanted to sell for several times what I am paying for this car.
I've taught school a good part of my life and teachers do not earn adequate wages considering the jobs they have to do. Consequently, my budget would not support that engine. I am still hopeful that another one, that is more reasonable will show up but it was explained to me that these engines are quite valuable.
At the same time, the original engine is in pieces and I'm not sure I'd have the ability to sort it out and re-assemble it properly after being told how complicated it is compared to the 327. Of course, that just made me want to try doing it . All I know for sure, right now, is that the next few weeks will sort things out for the car and probably the engine.
