Just sell it and buy a new one with a 5.0 in it. It will cost a LOT to swap yours. If you really want to keep that particuar car then swap in a 351 or a 331 stroker. You will need a new CPU/harness, new radiator, a complete longblock, a new transmission, new driveshaft, and you might need a new rear end but Im not sure on that one.

Would also need a new crossmember and headers/exhaust. For a 351 would need a new hood also.
