Smile 2 Litre Pinto Tuning ?

Although this question is kinda off topic, I thought I would post it here as it is relevant to anyone making use of the 2 litre Pinto engine.

As some of you will know, after a tip off from Mike ( TSM Locost ) Junior managed to find his dream daily driver recently, namely a Sierra Sapphire.

The only downside from Juniors point of view was that this Sierra is fitted with a 1.6 litre Pinto engine & he is finding it a wee bit sluggish

I have managed to get hold of a 205 block, 2 litre Pinto engine .... Don't laugh, I thought about many engine options but to make life easy for me, pinto it is as it should be more or less plug n play.

To that end, what basic tuning options are there for this engine !!??

Kinda thinking, Kent FR32 fast road cam, better exhaust system & maybe upgrading the Webber twin choke carb.

The engine came with a Webber Twin choke but I have no idea what model carb it is
All I can find is a tag with: 72 HF KA & A 2C29 stamped on it.

I know I could go down the bike carb & Jolt route but would much prefer a simple plug n play engine swap for the time being

Any advice would be most welcome
