Since the M37 engine (78 HP Dodge T245) has a low compression of 7:1, an easy way to increase Horse Power is to increase the compression ratio to 9:1 which should result in adding 15 Horse Power. Removing and milling the head to 9:1 compression ratio is somewhat simple. However, you need to measure the valve lift, allow for clearance, and measure the head combustion camber and simple math tells you how much to mill the head. If anyone is in the Las Vegas NV area I will gladly assist in determining the amount of milling required. The machine shop that I suggest, in the Las Vegas area, to do the milling is Fultz Machine Shop, 2100 W. Bonanza Rd, Las Vegas. Other ways of increasing the M37 Dodge T245 Engine Horse Power aren't worth the effort or $$$. The next step would be to install a Small Block V8; see NOVAK Adapters on the internet.
