exhaust leak fixed. intake manifold leaking!

[ghostrx7]

so, i got my straight exhaust on, hit 8 lbs boost, but i have a intake manifold leak! my techs tellin me i may need a motor in about 8000 miles, and he has a factory rebuild he could sell me. ill probably just fix the intake leak and take my chances for a little. im gettin 3000 to put into it next week, but i wanted some rims and a bodykit. this sucks!!!!!!!
now im unsure what to do. any advice? i also wanted a apex i safc II, fuel pump and some injectors. why does every thing have to be so complicated!oh well, its worth it in my eyes.
1. get leak fixed, buy safc, fuel pump, injectors
2. get new motor, no new parts
3. fix leak, get rims, bodykit.
4. drive till it explodes, get motor when needed.

dont buy a factory rebuilt, bye a ported engine.
youll get some power with a new engine, would fit ur budget.

worried about warranties also, i think the atkins comes with a 1yr, factory comes 2 yr. dont need much more power after i get a few more parts. im gonna have to sleep on this one for a few, but i think ill just do the manifold gasket. anyone know how much that runs? i think itll be like 500.
