Sure, but what's wrong with the UN54? Granted, it won't last like well maintained classic Record, but when it craps out you can buy another one for twenty bucks.
Masi Gran Criteriums were made in California in 1980 and many racers equipped them with Shimano. Mine has the full Super Record treatment (except for Look pedals), but that's because I was a Campy snob in 1980.
Keep the rear dropout spacing to 126mm, though.
