A properly matched intake manifold and 4-barrel carb with mechanical or vacuum secondaries is your best bet. I'm a mechanical secondaries kind of guy, myself. I like knowing I'm not dependent on a certain pressure to open s*** up.
I'd probably convert to long-tube ceramic-coated headers (Hedman) and then a true twin exhaust with no cutovers or H-tubing (had that on my 1987 Ranger with the 302 V8) into a pair of appropriately-sized glasspacks. The power will be AMAZING, and the sound is actually quite enjoyable and not ticket-inducing.
I'd likely go Holley for most top-end stuff (intake mani, carb), Crane for the bumpsticks. Most of my motor-building experience is heads and up, so for bottom-end I couldn't make any recommendations.
