I like your mentality of history, truthful. It is indeed that stupid in the industry. I learned a modern lean can only be done with a boxer, preferably a carbed one (proper cams no BS), that left off in the 1980s. and then I even found modern v8s that can take one heck of a thump for combustion... and go back to tight carbed.You could find an old chassis for your local laws and then go real school (not old and not new) on your project with modern engine.
I learned the hiostory with actions, my mom had a 289 ford falcon from 1966 at 30mpg...Epiphany at the least to ponder...
