If you fit a Pinto the next upgrade is a Duratec
If you fit a CVH the next upgrade is a Zetec
Because the inlet and exhausts are on the same side
Ducting the air to the carb with a filter remotely located is the way to go if you don't want to cut a hole in the bonnet, there are a few purpose made adaptors for weber downdraft carbs.

Duratec will require a custom bell housing (at least 200 quid) and aftermarket engine management (I don't think bike carbs would pass emissions). In my view an early Zetec is a much easier and more trodden path even for swapping from Pinto.
