Change the piston rings, tappet lifters, port & polish and maybe upgrade the fuel pump - anybody got experience on the last one?
What pump would you recommend and any hp increase ?
In the meantime looking for a jumbuck as a replacement car.
Pump easy just a swap over for walbro in tank, no gain though as injectors only run bout 60 percent no point unless looking for major power increase with turbo etc
