That is a great looking car and I think if it was me I would try to keep it looking as near to what it does now as I could. The aluminum heads would get rid of some weight and transfer heat faster and the aluminum flywheel would let it wind up a little quicker but if you aren't racing I don't think it is worth the work and money. As for the Webers they give it a more original look and if they worked well before I think I would rebuild them as a new fuel injection system is going to cost quite a bit. And as for tires you will get a lot of opinions about them, but what it would mainly boil down to is how are you going to drive the car and how long do you want them to last. The softer compounds stick better and are better from a racing or occasional track day but they also wear out a lot faster than some of the others, especially if you have streets like ours that are full of pot holes and the rest of the street is like sandpaper. As for performance gains you would need to make sure the heads and ports matched and maybe have some pocket porting done. It just comes down to your choice and what you want to spend really.
