Totally original the way GMH intended. That is what people will be blown away by.
It's not like it's a poverty 253ci, Tri-matic. L32/M40 tagged combo.

But as already stated, your Sandman ruin it if you like. It's all yours to do with what you what.
I'm not suggesting that Don can't make his own decision on the point I was making when I offered my opinion but let me put it another way closer to Don's heart.
Let say you have a quite rare model A or model T commercial. You pretty much have the only one in the country and it is all factory original with matching numbers.
The motor is in pieces though uncommon to you. So because of that you decide to fit a Ford Pinto motor in it with a turbo! It just doesn't sit right.

I would also say that this car is ruined.

OK, so that might be a little extreme but I hope you can see my point.
