Any typical mods would apply.
Buy/regrind a performance cam.Mill the heads for compression.Have the block ports ported,multi angle valve job.Headers,intake,rework(jets etc..)carbs. Do a google search for flathead parts or hit the swap meets.

Check out Flathead Jacks at:
www.flatheadjack.com ...or... Speedway Motors at: www.speedwaymotors.com Both have good tech sections for flatheads from which to make performance decisions based on your budget. George
