If it were me (your not) I would go with a mild stock engine upgrade (touring engine??). I had a few friends that went the V-8 flathead and regretted it afterwards.

But think it out for the type of driving you will do. I know of more than one that put a lightened flywheel in a heavy car (Town Sedan) and hated it. They missed the bottom end torque.
