Sometimes you can't win though. My late father's 53 Studebaker became Pontiac powered in the summer of '59. He was working at a Pontiac dealer. His hot rod club has a bunch of 53 Studebakers, dad's got the Pontiac engine, some got SBC, some Cadillac. Years later, I get it going, newer pontiac power (455 vs 389), and join a Studebaker FB group. I caught hell, they all said I was a f****g idiot and should pull the POS Pontiac engine and put a Studebaker one back in! My response was that it was Studebaker powered for 6 years and Pontiac powered for 50+, in spite of that cutting-edge flathead six cylinder immense power.
