Personally, I define value somewhat differently when it comes to old cars and to me that switch of engines would border on sacrilege. I realize that many, if not most, judging from history, would opt for alternative "A".

Not my car, not my decision, however the punster in me suggests that the V8 should be option "A", the 4 cylinder option "B".
