Depends what you want to spend really.

Ye, the inlet is the biggest restriction in the engine, swapping it for a Mantzel type inlet will give maybe 15-20bhp, but i dont think there made anymore.

You could always just go for TBs ;)

stick some T40's on there - quick, easy and cheap.

Not as simple as a 8v.

Need something to run the ignition(i.e. standalone ignition management)
Not like on a 8v just swapping the dizzy.
