Well if it's a 2 wheel drive it would probably be fun dropping in a mild 400 small block. drop it 2 - 4 inches, and if you can afford it a Richmond 5 speed transmission. It would go like stink. (a friend of mine has a car with that combo) The 10 Bolt rear end would have to be either built, or replaced with a Ford 9", with a locker.

If it's 4x4 just drop in a good motor, mild lift, 33 - 35" tires and build everything strong.
