Bill you are right, but a modern motor to me, is a motor with EFI with ECU, twin cam, 4 valve, o2 sensor, no distributor and you can still buy all the parts you need.
Have you compared the the weight of the Rooter resp. Volvo B 18.Recently completed a 63 GT w/ the Volvo 1.8, .30 overbore w/ the IPD Big Bore Kit and A/C. Not a hard Install and best of all , no cutting /welding tunnel and floor pan. There are some other issues , such as mating up the O/D trans to the rear end which requires a 2 piece driveshaft.
