Aside from the traditional porting and relieving of the block, installing larger valves is a consideration as well as fabbing a set of headers. I have seen on the Inliners International forum, that a high compression aluminum head is currently under development for these engines along with a possible multi carb intake. Check it out....

Seems to me the most sensible way to add a little more oomph to these old motors is to rig up a turbocharger to blow 4-5 psi into them.
