well if they are like bbk and stuff like that your gona have to chang atleast the crank and water pump pully to use stock belt.because te crank is resized smaller and the water pump one to its bigger so they try to balance it out by making one smaler and the other bigger.in my old 5.0 i just ran the water pump and crank and left the stock alternater pully on

I run 4:10s on mine and it's fine on the freeway but I don't use it for commuting. When I am on the freeway though at 65mph it's spinning around 2500rpm which is low for that engine. As for bolt on stuff I'd get a super charger kit first thing then do all the other stuff. You'll be much happier. [Big Grin]

supercharger, 3:73, exhaust, CAI, tune, call it a day...

Or sell it, pick up a 03/04 Cobra. If you can, find one with a KB already on it and save the time and money.
