My bro rebuilt his engine and its pretty quick compared to the stock worn out motor... it was bored .30 over, has a bigger cam, lightened the fly wheel, solid lifter swap and then bolted on a weber carb and pace setter headers. Though going this route isnt exactly "cheap" or impressively fast but it's got enough power for a little mini truck.
Like Sask said, if you want performance your best bet would be to swap a better engine into your truck but unless you have a complete donor vehicle that can get pricey real fast.
