1750 re-build mods?

["Stephen D. Thompson" <thompsonlaw@domain.elided>]

I am buying a 71 Berlina.  The current owner is doing an engine swap (taking
the re-built 1750 out of the Berlina and installing it into a 69 GTV, and
swapping that engine into the Berlina).  I am having the head taken off and
inspected and may very well have a valve job while it is out on the bench.
The gearbox is in very good shape so I have no worries there.  The 71 Ingram
rebuilt SPICA stays with my car.

As long as I am considering doing the head on the motor, are there any
performance mods for sporty daily mountain driving I should consider?  5500
to 6000 feet elevation around here on a daily basis with occasional trips up
to 8700 feet.  My last alfa had a rebuilt 2 liter that was ported and
printed with a hyper cam and variable valve grind.  I enjoyed it a lot at
sea level (Tacoma).  My knowledgeable friends tell me I will love the feel
of a 1750 as is.  I have never spent a lot of time behind a 1750.  I
appreciate any comments.

Thanks in advance,
