IIRC, the engine _in_its_entirety_ can be up/backdated. Head, block, and
everything inside. Same thing with tranny. If you want the cam grind from a
'67, you must use the whole '67 engine. If you use a non-stock cam, that
puts you into Prepared.
OTOH, intake and exhaust from the head out are "free". You can use SU's,
ZS's, Webers, whatever. I believe you may even use EFI.
