The BIG question is, does this car have to remain emission compliant? Not saying it'll be a polluting pig by any means, but will it be inspected?

If not:

1-get rid of the quadjet ccu carb.
2-ccu independant ignition.
3-exhaust/bye bye smog pump(worthless on these motors anyway), but atleast keep a cat on it.
4-#1 killer of carbed 3rd gens, FRESH AIR, find a way to get fresh(er) air in, open element atleast.
5-trans, shift kit
6-rear, 3.73's are not very expensive and aside from #5 the biggest source of improvement.

All this will work for switching to a 350 later on when the 305 pukes. If you're inclined enough to do so, advance the eng.degrees.
