I suspect it would cope just fine.

However if you did want more, my humble tip is do it by adding cubes, and matching cam and heads. Don't just jump to a higher cam, it potentially could run like a dog at street rpm. 800-2500rpm.

Either way, the attention to detail you are putting in your car, it's going to be a sweet little champ!
Waiting with baited breath for the final outcom me.
Adding cubes? Nup. Seriously, if I had free reign, I would be using a standard bore/stroke 289 that would zing to 7k, with a solid flat tappet cam and 4 x IDA Webers
I know, reasonably high tech AP chassis, but matched with a '60s engine? Is he crazy?
It's in-bred. I can't help it
