I agree with Lynn
You should go for a T214 engine . Fussy collectors know what's what and the vehicle will be worth more. You are going to a lot of work, it will look fantastic when it is finished so may as well put the correct engine in it .
If you do want a long block , look for a 250 ci post war engine. People used to call them KEW engines , I think named from the Chrysler factory in KEW UK .
Bevan F used to have new piston sets for the 250 3 7/16" bore engine , might be worth asking him what he did with them .
Hughes in Sydney road Coburg had the 3 1/4" piston sets for years , but thats long gone .
BTW at one of the early Corowa events, early 1980's a WC 54 turned up, it was imported from New Caledonia ex French army . It was in very good cond.
