I respectfully disagree. Yes, an LS motor has a lot to offer, but I think it takes even more away from a classic vintage car.

I think its a personal thing... you pick a ride and enjoy it...

In 1953, "old car guys" thought the Corvette, was "taking away" from Classic vintage cars...

In 1955, "old car guys" thought the new GM 265 V8 was "taking away" from Classic Vintage cars

In 1964 "old car guys" thought Muscle cars (64 GTO) were "taking away" from classic vintage cars

I think when your original drivetrain,interior and some other things are gone and never going to be able to be tracked down,A LS motor is a great option.
