Why no love for the 4A-C? Bullies!!

After reading through the plethora of threads in the forums about engine conversions for the trusty Sprinter, a newbie would be under the impression that the 4A-C is a mechanical paperweight and that the 4A-GXX is god's give to planet.
Can the tech heads out there advise why it is not feasible, either financially or technically, to do the typical mods that are down to the old V8's and the like - bore and stroke, cam, port and polish, quality carburetion and tuning - to the C?
Correct me if I'm wrong but a 4A-C puts out around 50kw, while the 4A-GE puts out around 86kw. Apparently the only difference between the two motors is the head and aspiration of the GE. A 70% increase in power seems to be an extreme gain for a new head and the addition EFI. To me it suggests that the C is severely restricted and is more than happy to be worked.
Can people who have worked their C post what they did, or else shoot me down in flames and say that there is nothing that can be done to the 4A-C.
Cheers,
AE86
