Vinnie can speak more to this than I, but where a carbed car can get you frustrated an early FI car can make you want to blow your ****ing brains out. Methinks he is right in recommending an engine swap in your case. In the case of your other car, it sounds like everything needs an adjustment. If you blocked your exhaust crossover with a performance manifold that will lead to rougher starts/idles in the cold.
Plus, that's getting into the too-old phase, where regular parts get expensive because demand is too low. Case in point (Rock Auto always seems to have very competitive pricing BTW, and that's not just because they are a sponsor):

I know this is kind of off topic but I don't really want you to get in over your head.
