What is your budget?

Port n polish

Xhaust manifold
Oversize rebore

The list is endless,

Do a search for HPE engines!

They have low compression pistons so I would start with sorting that first. Cracking engine they are.

as said they are low compression,
the pistons sit down in the bores, so idealy it ll need stripped and the block decked away down to get your compression back up
