Please just add to your old posts, especially if they are within the same hour. This is the third post I see from you, all concerning basically the same thing. You could be in 'time-out' (according to John! :-) )

Quite a bit can be done - depends on how much you want to spend. Edelbrock manifold, Holley or Edelbrock/Carter 600 cfm carbs, dual exhaust, ignition upgrades like a MSD coil and multispark ignition and many cam options. Porting/polishing the heads. Turbo/super charging. Upgrade to a 390. For specifics we will need to know what your intentions are - is this a daily driver? Only used to pull a boat/trailer? Going to race it?

I don't necessarily want to "Hot Rod" the vehicle,
But a finely tuned v-8, some disc brakes (is that possible?), I have a dual muffler which I imagine helps performance- quieting it down would be good, and any other fine tuning I could do to make it a quasi- daily runner and safe backup when my van is down, is what I'm after.
