If you have to use stock internals, zero deck the block and mill the heads to bring the compression ratios up. Then, port the heads. Depending on how high you can get the compression ratio, you might be able to get the engine well over 185 hp. If you're allowed, you can use 1.6 rockers to make that stock cam seem a little bigger. Do some tweaking on your ignition timing, factory curves are probably far from ideal.
The plan is to put 49 Plymouth bumpers on my 47 Ford. Finding the rear bumper brackets isn't going to be as easy, or as cheap as I'd hoped it to be. Just trying to think of some easy homemade methods...
