Would it ruin my car if I....

As I think about the best ways to attack the many hurdles on my '82, I was wondering... Since the car runs a little rough and a carb rebuild was probably going to be in order, how much sacrilege would I be committing if I swapped the complete carb and intake with a early four barrel car. I was thinking that it would make it a little more fun to drive, but if it would completely ruin my presentation down the road, I should skip it. I was offered a complete engine from an 84 for not a lot of money and I was thinking I could keep the intake related equipment and move the rest on.
