Question My List'o'Problems

This all started the other night when my car died just after I launched at 3k in a race... my car idled to death basicaly i managed tos tart it and get it home but this is where I'am now... after replacing fuel filter.
Puffin blue on startups, when I can get it to start up.. has to have been sitting for awhile for that to happen.
Hissing/ticking sound comming from intake manifold when ignition is in the ON position... although I'm not even sure if this is new it's just something I've noticed since my problems have arrised.
When I had it running it was idling eradicaly and sounded like it was going to die, and the dummy lights came on sometimes but the engine just BEARLY maintaining, adjusting the idle did nothing.
When I did have it running for afew minutes there was a smoke comming from behind the intake manifold, but I figure this is because of my jimmy rigged heater hose which wasn't tightened enough leaking coolant on the engine or transmission.
Oh and when the engine was running the whole front end was vibrating like hell, but the car is on jackstands. even as I gave it more gas and it smooths out abit it still isn't as smooth as it was before...

Awww **** it... I just figured it out.. spark plugs are absolutly ******* COVERED in oil... that and the HUGE puff of oil when I do get it started can only mean one thing... REBUILD!
Time to find a cheap rebuild kit... I dunno weather to dance up and down with joy or cry like a small child... just as I'm about to get a job too! Of all the breaks
