[QUOTE="Mustanger, post: 1185135, member: 8886"] I'd pick up a good OEM distributor as a spare with new pickup, go through brakes & add cool rotors SS lines. MM subframes & lower control arms, lower it to a nice stance, add (IMO) some DD rims for nice staggered tires, then a Magnapack cat back, check the gears & replace with 3:55's or 3:73's if needed, Trac Lok ok? I personally like the Koni Yellow adjustable struts & shocks or Bilsteins. I worry about my original starter & alternator at the age of our cars & 160k miles...so I will pre-emptively buy a new Ford Racing one & a new PA Performance Chrome or polished Alternator just to be safe. The engines run a LONG time if maintained so that is last on my list...(so far) In the meantime I just like to clean & detail everything! A super clean relatively stock car can still get many trophies! A good tune up & clean all the sensors, I am going through everything I can think of little by little. Just my thoughts so far...I am buying the power parts all the time as I have money & a bargain pops up...saving for the engine rebuild , AFR heads, and a supercharger, kenne Bell? or even a Vortech ...just my thoughts Oh & aren't these 94's officially turning 20 years old with the 14's becoming available? LOL... [/QUOTE]
