One of the most cost effective modifications to any gasoline engine is a different camshaft. They can be ground by a competent shop to make torque in the most useful range, and nearly all of the driving we do uses the torque of the engine. Other modifications to an engine would then be done to complement the new cam. Breakerless electronic ignition is another good bet for more bang for the buck. The Pertronix retrofit will be installed on my 1949 B1-PW when it is completed.
