I certainly can relate to the price tag problem!
Your 3V heads really limit you in your choice of IR EFI intakes. About all I can suggest is to contact Jerry about the Hilborn set up.
Another thought, you can't run Ford EEC electronics with a IR EFI system becuase the Ford system employs a mass air flow sensor. You'll need the speed density or alpha N type controller (such as the Accel).
take care,
