I'll add to that just a tad ...

Back in the '50s I put a '48 Merc flathead into a '31 Model A that had
only 54,000 miles on it.  Yeah, it worked but I've been kicking myself
ever since for messing up a nice car.

That said, I've made a few minor mods to my westy and will likely make
more like cutting holes for flush mounted lighting and such.  And ...
maybe at some future date ... install a propex furnace.  Oh well.
