When I had my 510, I was looking into putting the old 215 aluminum V8 from the early 60's (now produced by Rover) in. It is a pretty easy swap, and the aluminum 8 only weighs about 50lbs more than the iron 4 banger. This is not a huge engine, but will take you up to about 160hp normally aspirated, 180hp injected. I got the idea from a book that is no doubt no longer available, but you may be able to find something through google. (BTW- I didn't do the swap because I lived in CA at the time, and the emissions laws were a bit too tough to keep the car licensed).
