But you can build cheap set-ups by using used OEM products from various manufacturers that have gone through more research and longer design periods, and because they were mass produced, they are relatively cheap to get and replace if something happens.
I would say the cheapest/highest hp/most reliable/cheapest to maintain setup would be:
LQ9 longblock
reversed truck manifolds
twin hx35's or he351's
Ebay 2-to-1 FMIC
drill/customize manifold to run 16 srt4 stage1 injectors
Megasquirt
e85
oh wait.....that's what me and my wife are doing
probably gonna put that set-up in her truck, and another in her T/A for a little bit while we rebuild her yl301

Your plan is very interesting for me.
Only the following things I would change:
Twins for a single, we not have place in the bug but the radiator is in the back so a bigger single could be mounted in the front of the engine bay.
-
E85 to LPG, E85 is more expensive than usual pumpgas, the LPG on the other hand is quite cheap and got also a very high knock resistance.
-
What for is the mega-squirt? Instead of the stock EFI?
Please bring a bit more light in that
Thanks so for the support.
PS.: Your wife seems to be a real hot rodder
