Exhaust - locate a dual hump crossmember then you can use any 86-93 exhaust, loudest isnt necessarily the best, but BBK ceramic headers + O/R hpipe + LMI mufflers are nice

Gears - depends how much cuty/highway driving do you do?

Full Tune-up - plugs, wires, filters, fluids,

well then a carb would be next, that vid was PRO50SCs our 5.0 moderator, I think AmericanMuscle.com has the Loudmouth I's

3.73 gears are great for stick, 4.10s for auto

EDIT: a 255lph pump is worthwhile, doesnt matter which brand since they're all made by Walbro, for the heater core, you could bypass it for the meantime
