My B18 is down on power. Options? 120-130 1968

Over the past few years I have noticed a big drop in power and response from my B18. There doesn't seem to be much "get-up-an-go" left in her. It also has some oil leaking problems from around the crank and runs a little warm too. I know, old car syndrome. The miles on my B18 are unknown as the odometer stopped working long ago. She's a dual SU car too.

So I figure it's time to look at my options. Here's what I've come up with...

1) Re-ring my B18
2) Re-build my B18
3) Install another B18 in good condition that was rebuilt
4) Install a B20 that has some upgraded parts installed

Any recommendations?

At the time of doing any of this, clutch & flywheel would also be done. Should there be anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks Brickboardians
