Beef up the suspension. Good struts and shocks like KYB's, SFC's and LCA's. Perhaps bigger sway bars or even a wonderbar up front
Swap out those crappy old rubber bushings for some good poly stuff. It makes a world of difference in handling and 60ft times.

When you say "crate motor" what do you mean? Hows the cam? If is a standard 350 replacement motor, you could probably benefit from a cam swap. What kind of heads are on the motor(I can only guess with your username)? Swapping these for a nice set of aftermarket heads can make a HUGE difference. Definetly run some exhaust of some kind. Do you have a Y-pipe for the headers? I guess I need more information about your engine.
