Refit the standard manifold and have a 3" pipe all the way back with a nice flow through muffler.
It'll breath well and have a thumper note.

I agree with the turbo idea; just get your old extractors welded up then save for a turbo.

it's not economically viable. turboing old carburetted petrol engines is expensive and difficult to get right, yiu just wouldn't do it - not to mention the 18R is a bit soft and doesn't really stand up to forced induction for any length of time, especially if it is old.
if you really wanted a turbo you'd have to look at swapping in a full turbo engine, either petrol or diesel, it would cost the same and have far better results over trying to turbo your current donk.
