I think if i was going to ever do this sort of thing again on a 1275GT engine i would replace each carb with a throttle body and injector. Have an ECU doing the injection and ignition with a sensible cam and a ported big valve head, lightened flywheel and internals and i think 100bhp whould be easy. It would also be economical and you can toodle to the shops and back like a normal person without having to keep the revs high and stuttering about while more fuel goes out the exhaust than into combustion.
Carbs are in the stone age compared to programmable injection. All that spitting back through carbs running on race cams is just a stinky fire hazard and spendy. Decent programmable ECU's with TB's are spendy themselves but ime they are worth it for the driveability. You can get a proper roar going on with them, too, when the air is being pulled hard through them.
Brings it all back. Good luck.
