325 sport crap from cold start

my 89 sport is pretty crap from first start up. it is very crap in the lower revs and splutters a lot but runs fine once warmed up. any ideas if the cold start relay (if i have one) would be the cause of this or is it likely to be the coolant temp sensor? any ideas and help is appreciated

Best conversion on a budget?

what is the best and easiest conversion from a 325 to get somewhere in the region of 230-250bhp? which are the easiest to fit in and cheapest overall conversions? thinking 3.5 m30 or a 2.8 m52. any other suggestions?
