Get a rope or convert to MPFI. It's a pile of parts and adding some wires, you can do it.

Yea, but your options are much better if you go MPFI and besides, if your going to 'swap' in the spring, there ain't nothing worth swapping in that is DPFI so the wiring part of the conversion has to be done anyway. My thoughts, do the conversion now and get it running properly. That way if/when you swap if there are any troubles, that is one less part of the equation you have to be concerned with being wrong. IMO (and I am not sjudging you cause I don't know your skil level) too many people try to do too much at one time and end up with a POS project that they can't get to run right or they just give up on. Your car, your choice
