Increasing Performance

I just picked up a 67' F250, and I think its a 352. It feels a bit sluggish, but once I get going speed and performance picks up. What would be the best thing to do to increase performance "off the line"? I have a budget of about $1,200. I'm pretty sure I already have a four-barrel carb on there, and I just had a nice 2 and a 1/2" double barrel exhaust system installed. Should I upgrade to an Edelbrock carb and maybe a new fuel-intake manifold?

Thanks

I'd go with some lower gears say 411 or 456 that will help you come off the line better. Then yes on top the motor stuff next, then cams, roller rockers, Headers,then some 33" tires with nice wheels to finish it off .
