I have a 2.9 engine in my Anglia, They're a nice strong motor and can shift if you want them to. Have a look at the cylinder heads, if they have the letter K cast into them it's an ex police car (unless they've been changed). The 2.8 manifold will fit so you can use a 38dgas/40 downdraught carb. I had to scrap all the 2.9 ignition when the carb went on and now run a 2.8 dizzy with a modified bottom to suit the gear on the 2.9 cam. All the covers on the engine are alloy and polish up real nice.

One of my mates used to have one. He loved it, it was rapid and stuck to the road like a really sticky thing. I cant remember him ever having any problems with it either.

I expect it would be less than your '60.

Just go for third party and have a laugh with it!

Rear diff and shafts are worth £100+ to the kit car boys. I bought a whole one, just for the diff as all the XR's had LSD's.
