There are plenty of options available. The SBO 350 is a good engine. With a decent set of heads, an aftermarket cam and intake manifold, and a set of headers they can really run. Post pics of your Olds when you get a chance.

It's like any other engine. You want a little extra power but want to able to drive it. Up the compression a little 9.5-1 pistons. 280 duration 490 lift cam 2000 stall 650 carb. headers, edelbrook intake, 3.23 gears with posi, or locker and just have fun.

The 350 is a legendary rock solid engine. With care it will run forever.
