If there's a bunch of crud in the fuel tank you may have allowed it to run better until the new filter began to get blocked .
I know removing the tank isn't fun but sometimes the fuel intake screen gets slowly restricted.....
Sounds like you're close to getting it done, don't be in any hurry to increase the engine displacement, gasoline isn't going to drop in price any time soon .

The old in for a penny, in for a pound thing is rearing it’s head. I’m wondering if a new fuel pump and cleaning the tank while it’s out would be good. I don’t have a good facility to do a lot of the stuff at present. I’ve got enough work on the table such that it makes more sense for me to spend my time on my speciality and pay the mechanic to fix the rig. He knows so much more than I do and has the shop for it. He rebuilt the tranny on this thing and it runs fantastic.
Like I said, in for a penny, in for a pound. I heard an account of one of these things totally cherried out, asking price $60K. This one is still halfway solid. I get purchase offers all the time.
