More torque from a '95 302?

A friend of mine just got a '95 F250 w/ 302 and he plans to tow 5-6k a couple times a month- any simple and economical ways to pull some more torque from it?

put in a 351W, this isn't a smart *** reply -just cheaper and easier than going the complete hop up route.

I said to look for a 351 or 460 in the first place... I think he'll live with the 302 then...

I ran a 460 for a few years in a F150 4X4 and loved it but it tooka lot of work to get it in,right oil pan (rear sump from a van) motor mts robbed from a 3/4t, new case on the c6 to fit the bolt pattern on bell housing , all different accesory mts. higher rate frt springs etc. but hell for torque and OK gas mileage.

a gear swap would be the next option but would cost as much if not more then a 351w swap
