The easiest and cheapest way to go is to find a 1987 / 1988 Allante 4100 engine ...
GM has already done what you want to do ...

take the whole engine. the 4100 Allante engines are "specials", same block, but with high performance pistons, cams, etc., etc...

just look at the specs & torque for one of those 170 hp 4100's and compare with the specs of the 120 hp 4100 you got.

An Allante 4100 is not like an ElDo 4100 ...
