Late 70's was a bad time for the v8's. With all the gas shortages and enviromental hippies protesting.

By 1975 its power would drop as low as 122 hp Not until fuel injection began to appear in the 1980s would net power ratings rise above 200 hp

IMHO, heads, cam, and headers. If you don't have them. The cam is really where the power will come from as the cams used then were really garbage.
As far as 3700 rpm, that's the non od c4. You will need a trans swap to get a good cruising rpm.
