Can I make this work on pump gas?

I admit I did speed read thru this thread, but that engine seems to be a rare build these days. As long as the cylinders are clean enough with a light hone, i'd keep it as is. What I mean is, with a good clean up, it would make a real nice bracket engine with a little more cam. I'd probably put it under the bench for now, or see if someone else wanted to use it for how it was built, and maybe find another engine for your needs/want's on the street.
