Default Looking for Authenticity How far to go?

Hi Guys,

Planning for my 1963 - ERA 289 FIA Comp build and I am looking to build a visually Period Correct car.

I am way more into driving than displaying so if having a 1963 289 HIPO Block and Heads, with 5 Bolt narrow bolt pattern Bellhousing and 4 Speed T10 B/W Tranny ALL WITH correct 1963 and 1964 Casting Marks is the way to go?

OR do I just get a more recent 289/302 6 bolt and be done with it?

Just want a 300 - 350 HP streetable drive, no racing, but maybe do the odd track day run.

After all the car is a replica not an original so maybe I am going too far.

Would appreciate some opinions from you guys, as I need to make a decision soon.

Thanks and Regards

David
