Hey all,
Currently restoring a 1000 Ute (Old pics in Project Builds) and started thinking how am I going to get the most horsies out of this thing? I'm not all that knowledgeable yet in mechanical things, as this car is being used to build up my knowledge of cars etc.

SA req's say the max I can put in is a A14, so thats the motor. I'm looking at spending around 3k. What would you guys suggest if you were to try get as much power from this motor with that budget.

GX heads seem to be all the rage from what I can see. Can these be put onto the A14 block? I've also have been suggested to think about putting in an EFI as opposed to carby, to increase performance. Smart? Stupid?

All suggestions are GREATLY appreciated, I feel like I'm currently thumbling around in the dark.
