Supercharging has been a popular way to increase horsepower and torque. Turbo supercharging is another way, but it involves moving a lot of exhaust heat around which may not be the best for these old design engines. Engine conversion is also a popular way to go. Later model V-8s and their transmissions is probably the best way to get the most bang for your buck. Have you thought about a Packard V-8 coupled to a modern 5-speed transmission? I guess it boils down to how much time and money do you want to spend.
