cold air intake goes into fender
255 fuel pump
65mm throttle body and spacer
rebuilt posi w/ 3.73 & disc brakes
tublar rear control arms
strange 10 way adjustable rear shocks
bbk lowering springs

GT40p heads and intake with a 65MM throttle body from an explorer would be a good start and you can probably get for cheap. if you go that way get some roller rockers too!

Also some headers would help.

Before you are going to really get to do big mods. You should covert the car to mass air. Other wise the car is going to run like crap. I'd covert it, then do a exhaust, intake, and if you have enough a cam.

You can get a way with a few things like pulleys, headers, off road pipe. But once you start changing things like intake, cam, heads. The speed density a/f ratios get to far from the preprogrammed parameters. Makes the idle start jump up and down, and so on.
