I'm just curious what people's thoughts are on this.

To be clear I'm not talking about removing d-jet or any original parts. Say you are faced with a rebuild. Why not at least build a 1.7 or 2.0 into a 2056 with 96mm pistons and cylinders, higher performance valve train, and a modern cam like Raby's 9550. Visually the engine will look 100% stock but have 30 more hp and a substantially better torque curve.

Engine internals aren't ever judged in a concourse are they?
