Secondly to answer Jay's question as to which motor is required, the FIA historic motor sport requirement for an International use is solely there to ensure that the car represents/or is a car which met in period the International regulations, not a national specification car .There were different regulations in every country-still are- such that in putting together FIA races for cars from all over the world there would be no way of establishing any commonality and fairness.
Jeremy you are definitely better placed than most of us to answer these questions.
But I would like to say that I didn't assert that you have to run the original engine, it was just a suggestion that it might make the application easier!
