any engine made of cast iron or steel can be made to run on
unleaded. It may cost lots of money, and involve things like
grinding valves down, building them up with Stellite welding rod, and
grinding them back to shape, doing similiar things to the seats, and
so on, but it can be (and probably has been, by someone) done.
Anyone who says otherwise is misinformed, or has a financial interest.
