Ditto on everything George said. Did all that and more, plus I took it a step farther and stroked the motor to 377ci. But don't tell anyone, I keep telling the Porsche and Vette drivers (track day) my engine is bone stock!
You could do everything George suggested without even removing the engine from the car. A lot more HP for not a whole lot of money.
