Here,...let me help this guy out by posting a picture of an 1885 Fox body for him.

First off most guys back then would go straight for adding more horse power...so you'd take this:

and change him out for this.

VROOOMMM!!! VROOOMMM!!

You'd immediately notice a big gain in torque, and your ET's would drop commensurately, but then it snowballs from there...
Maybe beef up your drivetrain,(4 horses, instead of 2?) then you'd want to fix the suspension,.. next,...Those wheels are so...1700's, so you'd want to change that junk out, then maybe get better seating,... maybe some tunes,...

and then after you get all that other stuff right...

Maybe a power adder.

I think you pretty much covered it.
Somethings to think about:
What is the condition of the car now?
If it is a running, complete 32 yr old V8 with a decent body and interior I would say leave it alone and enjoy the ride while you can still get a decent price for it if/when you need to sell it. Even a good running 4 cyl with a good body and interior is getting hard to find.
Then find yourself a disposible body and put your blower on it.
Your gonna have a bunch of money tied up in bigger brakes, suspension, wheels and tires anyway, build something different that the blower and associated modifications that go along with it will enhance the value instead of taking a car that is getting hard to find in salvageable condition and making a race car out of it,
So, tell us your plans.
