You probably don't want this answer, but IMO I would keep the car just the way it is. Give it some TLC and keep it all original and unmoloested as there are very few unmoloested cars left out there.
If you want groul, go buy an 85-93 5.0 and have at it.

I'm with the previous post, keep it original. Many owners spend way too much money trying to rebuild theirs to the original state. But, I see no harm in modifying the intake and exhaust. Those can be easily put back in place.

Agree with the above. It sounds pretty decent, 1 owner, california car, little to no rust.
I say keep it as is. Even with the imperfections if people ask you can proudly tell them it's an un-restored survivor.
If you absolutely HAVE to do upgrades, keep ALL the original parts no matter what they are, even the exhaust pipes or carb or manifold.
Still think you should keep it original.
