1. Rebuild and balance the motor, slightly hotter cam, a tiny bit more compression.
2. Lighten the flywheel.
3. Port the head, rebuild carbs and use the configuration of intake and exhaust for a MK 2 Motor
4. Install a camber compensator
5. Keep the points
6. Change to a modern oil filter

: Opinions needed please: I have a 1966
: GT6. It is a New Mexico car with no
: rust, and it is very straight. A Mk II
: engine is fitted, but I also have the
: original motor. Nothing else has been
: done to the car. I am considering three
: options: return the car to its original
: state, keep the new motor and update it
: for speed and safety, or let loose and
: make it dangerously fast. I have never
: driven the car. I bought it 5 years ago
: and am finally getting started on it.
: Input is very much appreciated. If I
: keep it as original, is it a reasonable
: hope that I can make it reliable and
: not leaky? Thanks!
