Not sure how much the Jag ones are but the 58s were quite (!) expensive.
The FIA will probably say the car is worth far more than the cost of the carbs - which is true for some of them but possibly not for some Climax single cam powered cars for example.
I guess it depends on your definition of cost effective.

Linking correctness and respect of history to costs would only kill the category, much more cost effective to fit a VTec engine in a Cortina isn't it? But then, it's no longer linked to what it was. Replicas are not historic but the least is to have them like the period ones.
