have ford strokers build you a 347 for aroung 1800.00 buy a cam some good heads and an intake and after that you should have enough left to buy a kit of laughing gas and at that point you'd have a respectable street/ strip car

Turbocharge the current motor and save up for when it blows up then rebuild it.

3 buy set of afrs 1800
4 add your fav intake500
5 get assembled400
6 get tranny rebuilt 1000

total 5000 add a few hundred for small stuff like pushrods/hoses/belts/plugs/gaskets you get the idea.
