I consider myself a "reasonable purist". For instance, my MGA 1500
I'm restoring has a 5-bearing MGB engine in it. The PO put it in,
and I don't have a 1500 engine to replace it with, so for now I'm
sanguine about keeping it. So that said, I'd stick with what's
original. I'm of the mind that these cars are historic artifiacts
as well as personal fun, and that the two aren't mutually exclusive.
In fact, I think the ability to experience something as people did
in the past is attractive in and of itself.
