Bolt-on HP is about letting it breathe. Any speed shop has small block chevy stuff.
An Edelbrock Performer series intake and exhaust headers are usually the 1st bolt-on choices.

Yeah sorry I should have mentioned i already knew that. Do you know which carb or like which cylinder heads, or maybe ignitions systems like the spark plugs, spark plug wires or something like that?

I want to keep the orginal motor though, any suggestions?
Buy a ZZ4 and be done with it. Then put the original motor in the garage with instructions to who ever manages your estate..

With your proposed changes it wouldn't be original anymore now would it? Like SotT says, KEEP the original in the garage!
