i would rip out that instake and put an edelbrock performer intake and a
600 cfm edelbrock carb on her. buy headers out of jc whitney, and get a
mopar performance purpleshaft cam (484 lift 284 duration, or the next one
down i beleive is in the 455 lift and 272 duration area if you dont want
the bigger cam), and get valve springs to match the cam too. maybe have
yuer heads ported and polished, or get a set of 340 or 360 heads and mill
em down to compensate for the compression loss. this will give you a
tremendous increase in power, or you can just put the cam and headers in
and have yer factory throttle body modified by turo city and the n yer set
dude!. maybe have yer a-518 redon with a stall and shift kit. happy
motoring!
