Depends on what year stang and what u wanna do. I think for modular motors Most will say gears, exhaust, intake and a tune. For 5.0's id say heads, cam, intake, gears.

like i said im new to this muscle car thing. lol well, i bought the car from this guy in sanjose. There was already a californiafords.com sticker on it.. im guessing the original owner is a member here or something..
anyway, so wen i got this, there's a dent on the quarter panel and one on the bumper.. the bumper has to be fixable or perhaps, REPLACEABLE, as for the quarter panel, i'm not actually sure if its doable or should I take down the whole 1/4 panel and replace the whole thing.. damn, right now, i wish i had a camera. lol but i will post it maybe tomorrow.. someone train me on this muscle car thing. lol

Gears gears gears. Best bang for the buk. You wont be disapointed. But if d.d. is a concern... well it all depends on ur budget really and what you wanna do w/ it.

Bro if its a v6 I wouldn't waste ur time or money tryna make it fast. Do cosmetic upgrades (nothing ricey), get a lightweight set of wheels (heavy rims will make ur car slower), and dump it to the ground. Maybe a set of HID headlights and just drive the thing. Save ur money until u find a wrecked 04 cobra and drop that motor in there.

RICEY is when u have a 99 v6 coupe and putting turn signals on da fenders, changing all the emblems to a cobra, putting saleen on da windshield, lowering your car on 15 inch hub cap rims and putting a single chrome muffler tip with a glow in da dark air freshener

No chrome projector head lamps, big stickers, altezza tail lights, a bunch of chrome trim or a big as spoiler.
If it was mine id swap an 04 cobra front/rear bumper, side skirts and wing on it and have people scared to run up on you. The car doesn't look bad now. Id say a set of deep dish wheels would set u off right and be a good first change. It would just make it look fast which is all u need. My cobra now isn't what most would call "fast" but it looks the part

Well I would make a plan for the car before I dropped much cash into it. The reason I asked You those question's is if You don't have the skill's or friend's with skill's that are willing to help then You should leave the car as is and enjoy it because if You pay for an engine and pay someone to put it in then You will end up with a car that is not worth a third of the money You have thrown at it. This being the case You should find a GT, Cobra, or saleen which will hold it's value much better than a 6 cyl. that You paid big buck's to have converted to a 8 cyl.
