And if he did, did he find St. Peter with a couple of green Altecs in
his office?

I hear there's a Stratos replica out there that has very good bodywork
(no chopper glass...) and will take a Northstar V8. A far better
powerplant than the POS DOHC V8 in the 308, although I wouldn't
advocate a swap, nothing besides a Ferrari belongs in a Ferrari, but
the Columbo V12 would be a better fit--and it will! Of course the
greatest V12 is American, but it wouldn't hardly fit in any vehicle
smaller than a fire engine.

And if the reader doubts this has anything to do with audio:

The 1710 Allison was a better designed core engine per se, the Merlins
had the two stage two speed blower which gave altitude performance. The
ultimate recip fighter engine was-no, not the RR Griffon with its
byzantine redrive and quill shafts, nor the Centaurus, now generally
replaced by 3350 Wrights-the late Allison fitted with essentially the
Merlin blower in the Twin Mustang , because RR refused Packard
continued license to build Merlins, despite-or perhaps- Packard having
substantially improved the engine.
