Youll need quite a cam... probably easier with a solid as long as youve got the supporting gear. Give it plenty of fuel, up the carby to something larger, are the heads ported? Which manifold? Look at doing the auto / stall and definately diff gears... Depending how 'hot' the motor is now its probably not too hard to give it a decent kick up to 200rwkw.

Keep the quadrajet but give it a good tune and maybe some small mods, you should definatley ditch the mech fuel pump as the quaddy will empty out quick under load. wack in the elec pump (somthing like Holley blue) with regulator and that should be fuel system sorted

You will need a crane 286 or 304a to make that much power. My brock makes 187rwkw with a crane 286. looking a your specs you will need a bigger cam you should make the power wthout a solid.
