Looks good Kieran, Looks like a good honest car. I love these things in their dark Met green all glossy, they are such a contrast to anything today and timeless.
L16s are great engines, Whittleone (Spelling) on here and Lang Inder (Correct spelling this time, Sorry Lang for past mistakes) have both recently built up engines for there Js, using 40mm side draughts, or maybe 45mms. I think you could be very happy with the performance you would get out of an engine like this, and the engine note is just sweetness

My 2cents worth, the closer you keep it to original the greater it's value/return for investment will be and it doesn't matter how much HP you put into it, you can always want more and get more... The more you put in at the front the more strength you have to add all the way back, the more parts you break and need to replace and the tireder your car gets.
Sorry if I sound like an old man, but it is about finding the balance between performance, costs and coolness.
