With SSI heater boxes and what muffler?

Let us know more details.
It's an 83 engine, with, as far as I know, the stock ('83) heat exchangers and muffler. All of this is in a 74 body though. Wouldn't it have been smarter for the PO to have kept the '74 heat x'ers and exhaust? Also, the PO will have no idea what the compression ratio is...he didn't even know what size Fuch's was on the car. The only reason I believe the work was done is I have the receipt for it. But I don't see anything about cams on it. I think whatever is the easiest way to upgrade a 3.0 to a 3.2, that's how it was done. Cost about $3,400 when it was all said and done.

What I can say is the car is slower than molassess up to 3.5K, then unloads from there up to 5K. But I hear this rather normal.
