It's a flat head so adding compression brings on detonation sooner than what a quench wedge head overhead valve engine would. Port flow is limited as well. If an engine swap is out of the question.......maybe, just maybe a Whipple supercharger from a Buick 3800 would work? You could leave the engine internals alone and just bolt the blower on a plate between the existing manifold and carb. The whipple heats the airful mixture less than a roots blower and has better throttle response than a turbo. 3-4lbs boost would do. The whipple unit has a bypass door which allows idle and part throttle operation without wasting HP driving the blower. Water injection after the blower would control detonation. It would work as long as IF the engine never detonates. The addition of a large oil cooler intended for an automatic truck towing a trailer would be required.There are simple plates that bolt under the oil filter to provide handy connections.
