As said, these engines were designed for torque rather than horsepower. As with any straight eight, the issue in getting significantly more power is breathing/ even charge distribution. Look at the path to cyls 4&5 vs 1&8

It’s straightforward to bolt 160 trim to a 120. The resulting car is still a 120. It’s not straightforward to transplant the drive train
