As a starting point, I suggest that you request a free catalogue from Burtonpower.com.
Includes lots of tuning info & options.

There's a plethora of fast ford tuners out there. Where are you based?

The CVH engine doesn't really lend itself to tuning
True you can get it to 120/130 bhp but you will need to spend a lot of money to get it there and keep it there. Certainly you will need to consider manifolding, cams and twin Weber sidedraught carbs and/or Weber DCNF carbs if you can find a set.
One option to consider maybe a Zetec conversion with turnkey 130 bhp engines available for less than a grand !
