My opinion is that you just continue to make it your own. I come from the same school as you. I want to keep as much of the history of my 64 as I can, but still making it my own. I will wind up probably 97-98% original. Nothing major but changes that I want, without getting too crazy. What V-8 are you thinking about? I love the LS engine platform, but I also love the old school 327 that is in mine and will not change it, but someday it will have EFI. Bottom line is as you said, make it yours. Good luck in whatever direction you go. Sounds like a fun project
