You may have a good point. I guess I am looking for some of the cheaper (is there such a thing in the marine world?) upgrades to better enhance what is there. I would think that finding a couple used intakes and heads with new cams and ignition upgrades ($4K?) should yield good results for the $. Selling the two motors and purchasing two more would certainly cost 3-4x that, atleast. Am I too optomistic in my thoughts?

Here`s what you do :
Those engines already have pretty decent heads for a sub-5000 rpm engine. The Vortech heads flow ok and have large oval ports. Keep the heads and upgrade the cam. You have a low-lift hyd roller cam now. You can keep the non-adjustable valvetrain and use the oem lifters if you stay under .540 lift. Get matching valve springs. You will either need to modify the ecm or swap to a carb. I say go carb. You don`t need MSD ignition. Your existing Delco Voyager ignition will work fine.
$1500 per engine will give you a boost in hp and a meaner idle.
