Buy a 5.0L with a 5 speed, get a notch (coupe), try to find either a 91 or 92.
I have gone through this bolt-on nightmare once and am in the process of doing it all again. So, my advice would be: After the free upgrades like timing and removing the air silencer, etc, start with stiffening the chassis with sub frame connectors and torque box reinforcements. I'd buy gears next. 3.73 is a good gear for everyday use. From there upgrade the exhaust from front to back with a good 2 1/2" system. I prefer long tube headers, but you'll get conflicting advice on this matter. From there add underdrive pulleys, a 130amp alternator and electric fan. This will make a very noticable difference. That should get you started.
