That's an understatement. I'm using a carb (Holley HP Ultra 950). The cost of the carb + intake + fuel pump + fuel lines + fittings + filters + regulator is almost $3k. This is good stuff (Aeroquip, Aeromotive, etc.) but I was shocked how quickly it added up. And you will need to replace most of it.

I agree with the folks who said fix what you have.
