See my post above. If you want a 5.0L engine, you're better off to just sell your car and buy a 94-95 GT.

It's not worth it, just get a complete exhaust system, headers through tail pipes. If you get an off road x-pipe and some loub mufflers, you'll be fine.

See post above. You're going to need a Supercharger to get the level of power you want.

Pick up a copy of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords and read some of the advertisements, there are lots of body kits to look at.

They exist, but your tire bill would be quite large. Besides, you should be able to just dump the clutch and smoke them anyway. If you still want them, talk to your speed shop about it when you are buying all your parts.
