With a Jimmie engine you would get a pressurized oil system which seemed 
always to be better than the old Chevies (pre-1954).  I suppose you could do 
things as you want but save the old original stuff so can be "restored". 
AMC Power would allow you to play at NAMDRA races and draw a little 
attention.
Sounds fun.
