Replacing that whimpy I6 with a 390 would be a great place to start. :-)

You got a vacuum leak. The PCV valve is a designed leak. By blocking it off your compensating for a leak elsewhere. There is another possibility. If you have a leak in your block then your PCV valve will pull to much air. Do you have a massive oil leak? Are your power brakes working O.K.? If the pedal is rock hard, you could have a lack of vacuum. Check your Choke. Often they leak due to the absence of the thermal wand which is supposed to attach to the exhaust manifold.
