Put the solid cam in an ditch the power steering would be my first moves. probably a moroso waterpump drive and electric fan also/next. If I remember the engine compartment pic you have a pulley driven fan, waterpump, and power steering there is 2 tenths right there. I agree on the carb and converter but those are more money. Altogether though:
solid cam is probably .2
getting rid of mechanical accessories .2
1050 dominator .2 (there is et to be gained from an intake and spacer swap but I'll leave that out for this purpose)
converter maybey .3-.5
should be 11.2-11.00 (maybey 10.90's) combo based off the current 12.10 et
It should have an electric pump also. It doesn't have to be fancy either. My buddy has a bbc vette with a holley blue pump and has been going 9.70's for years with it. Not my first choice but it works.
