Welcome to the site! It may be a scarce car, but not much for muscle. Try searching threads for the 260 engine, I'm guessing that's what it has. The 260 had very low compression and the 5 speed wouldn't take the torque of a much stronger engine. But you do have the pedal assemblies, transmission hump, floor shift dash parts, etc. so if the day comes that you want to put in a 350 or 455 with a stronger 4 or 5 speed transmission you've got a great platform to build on!
