Well, that makes some sense. I didn't make big changes underneath mine. I found a way to install a sway bar and a larger tie rod and that's about it. And I did that before it was restored. It's still running the same brake shoes and shocks that were on it when I dragged it out of Nebraska in '93. I found a Hydrovac unit from a '65 truck which I'm going to install for power brakes, and I'm working on figuring out a way to install a power assist steering from another vehicle.
But I think a mild V8 swap would make it a little more fun for you.
