M1 intake manifold (MPI) with install kit
Lists $586 new, you might find one used.
Ported and polished throttle body.
Im assuming a new TB runs a couple of hundred bucks, if you
have any mechanical skills....you can port and polish the TB
yourself....freebie!!
I learned from this guy...

as for injectors, cam, headers, etc......

Cheap, fast, reliable? Pick 2 because you can't have all 3.

There is alot the 318 is capable of. One thing to do before trying additions is to make sure what you have is working properly first. Like checking your injector timing, getting good plugs in it, cap and rotor, wires. If all that is healthy then you can begin with roller rockers for around $250, Headers not sure on cost, and some computer tuning. Those basic things will get it breathing better and usually be your best power for the buck. But like they said, how far do you want to go?
