If you've got a LOT spare coin to spend, a 415, 427, or 440 stroker conversion would be the next obvious choice.
You're closer to Aaron, but Marc Haibeck does them too:

While you have the tranny out it might be a good idea to send it to Bill Boudreau (The ZF Doc) and have it checked out and cryo treated.

I highly recommend Bill's "C-Beam Plates":

Made a world of difference on my Z.
I used to be very wary of mashing the go pedal unless I was the only car on the road.
When the tires would spin, the rear end would step right. It felt like miles, but in reality probably only a foot or so.
The beam plates minimized it bunches.
Although torque still affects the attitude of the rear of the car it's no where near what it used to be.
I'm told that a rear end gear change is the best bang for the buck, 4:10's are usually what people put in.
It makes 6th gear usable on the freeway.

Again, this is something Aaron can do for you, but it's always nice to see your options.
Good to see you again, and again,
Welcome to the.....
Brotherhood of the Beast!!!
