that isn't so much the problem, it's the CARB vs EFI debate.
EFI is far more reliable than a carb, you don't have to readjust everytime the weather changes, and changes in altitude don't make near the same difference
However, it's also a good 4k if you want to go completely standalone (which I would, if you don't want to deal with PATS (passive anti-theft system)). It goes up from there.
If you took the driveline out of a older mustang, or F150, you could use the EFI system from that car, but you would essentially need a donor car to transfer everything over from it.
Carb's are cheaper, but they sure as hell aren't as reliable.
Just stick with the engine you have now.
Build up a nice stroker or something, with a decent set of TrickFlow Heads, and a nice Stage II cam, and you could easily see 350hp on a streetable combo that would be a sh*t-ton of a fun

go with the long tubes, because thats the only mod you will FEEL, or i would just keep saving up to build the motor. Off topic, but do you have a lot of cop trouble with that car? I ask because i used to have the same year same color and i had so many bs tickets and cops following me when they see me.
