As others have said, it's a blast to drive. Smog might be your biggest
issue. My brother had one, ended up buying a new engine, it wasn't that
much more than having the clapped out engine rebuilt to his standards.

Should have side draft constant velocity SU carbs. Get them balanced,
and make sure you check the oil in the dampers, that's what's under the
little black caps on top of the carbs. Used to run those carbs on a 510
Datsun. You know where I live now, in winter I'd run ATF in the dampers,
10-40w in summer to slow off idle response.
People looked at me real funny when I'd say "I have to change the oil in
my carbs this weekend". G
