you SURE its a 1300??
Think a 63 should be a 1200??
You could try a set of single port dual carbs and a set of extractors

How will a larger motor lower the revs? wouldn't you need to change the diff / gear box?
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Have a look at tyre size, taller profile will lower revs but take longer to get to top speed.
