I've always been torn ... I really love the simplicity and reliability of some of my old analog gas and diesel engines, aboslutely bullet proof most of them. But, I'd also love to own an old Pontiac engine with the latest greatest FI system, roller cam, coil on plug, programmable ECU ... as much modern systems as you could stuff on one .. just to see how efficient you could make it run. Problem is you'd have to use aftermarket stuff in most cases rather than heavily tested and researched factory parts that have billion dollar R&D departments behind them.
