went mudding and....

Ok guys so I took my truck mudding today and had a blast!!! But on the drive home I was noticing the ole girl was slower than normal its a 78 f150 with a 351m and a c6 part time 4x4 bone stock. It takes a good 20 seconds if not more to make it out of first gear and to even get to 25mph. I'm planing on putting a 460 in soon anyways. But its also having troubles shifting too. It will just rev up real high sometimes and not shift. Just looking for some advice and looking for knowledge. Thanks guys
