To a mechanic,assumptions are only useful in troubleshooting,not in assessing the quality of a used machine.There is a measure of risk in modifying,it can be offset some by attention to detail and quality practices,the same required in proper restoration.
Part of the satisfaction in modifying a car is assembling the correct blend for increase of performance vs reliability vs cost. One of the many qualities of the model a was the 'over engineering' of the car, many of the components are far more robust than required,allowing a modifier to sanely increase the yield of the component with out sacrificing too much reliability.
