Have you checked the transmission fluid lately? Start there. And plenty of things to make you go faster, depends what kind of gains you want.

Then if you have no set amount and want massive gains, forced induction is your route. Slap a supercharger and a new intake manifold and some injectors on her and your speed problem will be solved.

Plus an exhaust system for better outflow and a nice tone.

A 460 swap would require trans swap, engine frame perch swap, exhaust, wiring harness lots of stuff..
I can give ya a list of parts to make that 351 pull anything imaginable but it's gonna cost money..
Can do same with a 460.. Gonna cost money as well..
Best thing to do is start. With a good tuneup, cleaned/rebuilt carb, a few other maintenance items.
Then save up to build it..

Oh butter then.. 350 at crank is easy with 351W.. I'm doing it with a 302
Problem is when ya do it with a 351 it makes gobs of torque and tends to break **** like trans or rear end, u-joints Etc..
