This original motor stuff seems funny to me considering it's a historic race car. If you found Jenkins' original "Grumpy's Toy" 69 Camaro in this condition would you say it "could never be perfect" because it no longer had the 396/375 it was delivered from the factory with? I know I wouldn't.

well, if I had Richard Petty's 64 Plymouth that won the Daytona 500 and had a 67 Hemi motor in it, but had the chance to own the original motor (which Petty had junked out behind the raceshop) the answer to your question is pretty obvious.
