you seem to have most of the mods already without digging into the heads/cam. I would say thats all thats left

More pics of the hood? Fitment issues?

Tough to come up with much more than you've got. Some ideas. 1) Electric waterpump 2) clean-up/polish ports in the Edelbrock base (if not already done) 3) retard stock cam for additional top end using adjustable timing chain set.

skip the smog pulley
route the belt like an 89 full size blazer tbi

unfortunately i found that out after i did the pulley

advance the timing, thats trial and error, her car likes 13 degrees

only other thing i can think of if it's available is an aluminum harmonic balancer

265 would be 318 at the crank. You will probably make alittle more than that though.
