I would try ebay for the vents, i sold a couple of sets there a while back,
As for cheap mods, can't go past a set of 2nd hand extractors and a less restrictive exhaust, and with those get a higher flowing air cleaner. wont be beating ferarri's or anything but you will notice a difference

Do a search this is covered over and over.
Basically....
Extractors in to 2 1/4inch exhaust, no bigger or you will lose back pressure and torque
34 ADM weber Carby (off a XE or XF Falcon, preferablt XE)
Theirs more but ive forgotten lol.
If you want to open it up, then look at a Yella Terra head.
