Welcome! I've also got a '76. I'm not going to be able to help with the "go fast" stuff, but if your looking to sell some of the stock bits once you replace them (most of the stock stuff doesn't goes fast:) If you'd let me know I'd appreciate it. I'm looking to do a stock"ish" upgrade. I want to keep most of it looking very stock but make it a solid daily driver. Thanks and welcome again. Everyone is very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable.

Agree. IMO- it's actually cheaper in the long run. A stock used V8 can run @$500, and a tranny can run @ the same, sometimes you can get both for @$500 total. Radiator can run you @ $150-$300. V8 kit @ $75-$125. Go fast LUV parts are usually custom made and can be a bit expensive.
