Welcome Ron,
Most people on this list try to keep original, but you'll get plenty of good
advice. A few of us have modified our 80's Imperials for more power. If
you e-mail me off list, I could talk all day about improving performance,
but alot depends on the emissions laws in your state. Things to try dual
exhausts, headers, four barrel carb and intake, lower rear gear (higher
numerical). Any site that discusses small block mopars will have info. You
lost a great opportunity by not putting in a 360 when you swapped motors.
Good luck,
Rob
