Absolutely...This motor came out of the factory with 240 bhp because the valves are smaller than the earlier 340's and the compression ratio was lowered to 8.5/1 versus the 10.4/1 in the earlier cars. If you were to do headers, an unsilenced air cleaner and a cam that has about a .500 lift, you should be able to get the 73 motor back up to the 71 specs (about 270-275 bhp) If you want big power, you would want to mill the "J" heads that you have and do 2.02-1.80 valves. Getting 10/1 TRW dome top pistons or shaving the heads while the valve seats are being ground would make it 300+ bhp easy.

Can you put a bigger horsepower motor in a riding lawnmower?
There is no problem in changing the size of the engine rated horsepower, as long as it is an increase. The tricky part is to assure that the shaft size and length match. The engine mounting system must be the same, and obviously everything must connect and fit like it did for the original engine. A larger engine should give you additional power, but will likely also consume more gasoline.

How do you remove the governor on a 1992 Geo Prizm to add a little more horsepower?
You may not want to do that. the governor keeps your engine below a set RPM limit. going above that too far would grenade your engine. It won't give you any more horsepower at normal RPM's, just the ability to rev higher and generate more horsepower at the expense of engine life.
