What about a 33 V8 to complete the picture?

probably not, but still, if he was creating a replica of the foley GTAm then I cant see why not right?

While this is not a specific criteria for inclusion, it does add that bit of nostalgic air and brownie points to the whole application, which has got to be a plus; not to mention the extra track width and reduced weight that goes with it.....!

I'd be over the moon if I could build my 2000GTV into a GTAm replica with a twinspark 2.0, alloy/glass panels, big guards and 13x9 wheels

cool in itself, yeah, like in Holland we race Trofeo, where you can legally race a giulia with a LSD and a 200 hp 2000 engine.
But thats totally different from historic racing.
For FIA historics, a different rule book applies.
Would you want to go historic racing? Then keep it period as it was, or buy a GTA that is period correctly homologated. You are spoiling the sport, like doping in athletics!
Same goes for a guy racing a Torana with say a DTA injection, and professing it to be a 'historic' racer.
Go race in another 'run what ya brung' class.
Like Trofeo, which is what I did, and wich was totally cool! Fake 75 IMSA's, fake GTams, '69 Bertones running carbon bodywork, 155 heads, DTA's etc...
Everybody had and has a lot of fun. But Historic racing it ain't....
