they can be beefed, if you could find an old timer who knows how to
work on them.  they were widely used in australia in the '70s, just
about the only thing available to companies who didn't make their own
[and even some who did] - so it got used in cars and behind engines it
probably shouldn't have.  and then when the hotrodders got involved...

iirc beefing involved finding the right valve body and using some
internals from later warners - bw51 and bw65 i think.

an iron warner would probably be easier to find and cheaper.
