While true, that is completely irrelevant to this discussion. We are talking about a vintage 2.7 with stock cases, stock crank, stock rods, stock (but twin plugged) heads, 10:1 compression JE pistons in stock cylinders, some kind of suitable cams, and PMO throttle bodies with some form of EFI. Yes, with your unlimited budget, we could replace all of that. Then it becomes "Abe Lincoln's axe" - as he described it, "the best one I ever owned. It only needed two new heads and five new handles the whole time I had it".
