Nice how much did that set you back? If it were me I'd be building a drag motor, although a 4 litre in a mighty boy would be fun lol.

Maybe a side project, i.e build the motor up for your current AU?

Chuck a big cam in it, then throw the motor into an EA with a T5 behind it and go have some fun.

i had a similiar thought although abit cheaper...
I'd put a huge cam, new valve springs, hard wire the coil pack( or fit a dizzy) and remove the BBM.. Throw on a CFI manifold with a adapter plate to take a 4 barrell Holley carb, change to a C4 trans to fit the smaller tunnel and throw it in an early Cortina and try and cut a n/a 12 second pass
