Syncro on 2nd on a Ser II? Where did you find that?
Back to the original question, I would go for petrol. If you have got it to tinker with, there is more you can do, and it will make sense if you are used to bikes. From what you are saying about use, fuel consumption will not be critical. For 2 1/4 petrol you should expect 15 mpg, but correctly tuned and carefully driven20 is possible, over 20 and you are being very lucky.
V8s may sound nice but think carefully about any none standard engine. Even if it is a well done conversion can be a nightmare for something as simple as replacing the top hose, unless it came with a list of all parts used in the conversion (very unlikely.) If it's not been done well......
