You might want to consider selling it or rebuilding the motor. It probably won't take a lot of ppunding. I had that same problem with a 87 5.0 w/ chrome Cobra R's. The car was real clean and it sounded good but the motor was tired and smoking badly up steep inclines. I sold it for 5K and saved up. It's better off to start fresh.

In progress for Spring:

93 GT less motor and tranny, 8 pt cage, chute,
Sothside Machine bars & Sub-frames, 3.73's
'69 393 stroker Edlebrock Performer heads, Performer RPM Upper & Lower Manifold..Crane Gold 1.6 Rollers..BBK 70MM TB & cats..30lb Injectors..Cartech Fuel System..
