6-20-98--Body Or Engine?

I just got an e-mail back from Dr. Bob saying that yes, I could do something to the exhaust to improve the car's power. I could rip the whole thing out and put on headers with turbo mufflers. I could do this easily enough. But if I do that say, 200 bucks if I did it. Ok, that takes a big chunk out of my body work fund. But, if I do that why don't I just take this block (the original) out and put it a souped up one with about 115 more hp? So I have this dilemma, body work so it looks good, or engine so it runs good. Mail Me and tell me what you think I should do.
