Chris,
Yes , that is what I was taught as well and in this new day and age of time the term ' motor' has been widely misused at least in my understanding
. But then so has everything else these days .
The touring engines in general are ones that have been built possibly wit insert bearings , lightened flywheels, high compression heads , etc all for a little more performance . I run a Ryan overdrive in my Tudor I've had in since the 80's and it too is a huge plus .
Whatever you decide to do with your 'engine' block I encourage you to look at all the options and choices and choose what will best serve you with what you can afford . A Snyder hc head would be at the top of my list at minimum. Even with a babbited engine.
