1984 Corvette Question

*I don't know if this is the right section so feel free to move it if! necessary!*

Any way I have a 1984 Corvette and honestly 205 horse is not cutting it. Im wondering which steps I should take to bring it up in speed. Budget is not really an issue but I want to be as smart as I possibly can about doing this!
I understand the transmission will most likely need to be replaced and quite possibly the engine.

I just need to know what steps to take and an idea of how much it will cost!

Thank Yo

Hey Alves, what kind of wrenchin' skills do you have? Do you have tools to do engine teardown or swaps?
The biggest cork in making any power w/ the stock 82-84 engines is the intake, so are you up to doing an intake swap?
