M-37, Repower or Not?

I recently obtained a 1952 M-37 which needs a complete going over. The
engine needs to be replaced as the cylinder walls are rusted and the pistons
are frozen. The question is: do I replace the engine with an orginial or
re-power. If I re-power, what replacement engine will do the job without a
major installation effort. Can regearing the differentials simply do the
job?

I have a M-38A1 and am hesitant to put the money into another vehicle which
won't break the 45 MPH barrier, is this possible on a school teachers budget?
I've read this group for several months and have noticed many knowledgeable
articles on the M-37, any suggestions?
