Sell your car - and buy someone else's 3.6 conversion/track toy and be miles ahead.
Buy a 3.2 carrera and make it as light as possible with all the suspension goodies

You would have no problem finding a home for a '74 Carrera. Or buy a nonmatching, not original car to hotrod.
or install a hotrod 3.0 with your 7.31. it will require the least changes to your car and all are easily reversible, it will look and feel similar to your 2.7 but will be quicker (will outpull a later Carrera like your father's due to weight and gearing yet still retain the raw feeling) and store your 2.7 to reinstall later if the urge strikes you.
