Maybe the first thing to do is get a new cam. Camachinist pointed me to a 204/214 cam that's not supposed to lug at idle, but will give me more "get up and go". I haven't installed the engine yet, so I don't know whether I like it or not. But it sounds like you've got the carb and exhaust to support a bigger than stock cam.
