Easiest power swap for L03?

Title says it all.

Wants: Add 40-60 hp.
Keep TBI.
No big chip-tuning issues. (I'll buy one, but no time to screw around swapping them out).
One-shot deal. Pull the old, drop in the new, see ya.


I have someone in the junkyard who will keep an eye out for the right donor car, if only I knew what the right car was.

A simple set of used 305 TPI heads and a cam swap can give you that power jump and more. Chip tuning will be requireed no matter what you do. The stock chip cannot even support an open element like it should. Check out the TBI board for more details.
