It comes down to how you want the car,You're wallet is the only real limit of how you can do up a early mustang.

I used this order to re-do my car which I drive every day that it starts to work:

1. Safety
2. Handling
3. Power
4. Cosmetics (looks)

You then have to ask yourself what is the future of your car? Is it going to be a drag racer? Street and strip? Sunday driver? Daily driver? Trailer queen show car?

I wanted mine to be a safe reliable daily driver with street and strip power.

I call my car a rolling restoration. Basically, I start a project Friday night and hopefully finished by Sunday night (for the most part).

Upgrades for me include:

-Disc brakes x4
-New master brake and brake lines
-22 gallon tank and new lines (replaced the 16 gallon that came with my 67')
-New wire harness + fuse box etc.
-New heater core w/AC
-"Be Cool" super nice radiator w/two fans + voltage regulators (need those for those nice temps in Hawaii)
-Coil over suspension, front and back.
-5 speed transmission
-Pro-Comp gauges
-New 8-track player (E-bay baby!)
-MSD 6AL box ignition/coil
-Replaced the 289 that I blew up with a 302 from a 94 Cobra with Performer RPM heads, intake and cam to match
-New floor pan and carpets
-Passenger side mirror
-New windshield glass
-New bright head lights
-LED sequential brake lights
-LED blinkers
-New tires, tossed out those bias-ply tires
-New rims (to fit over the 12" disc brakes
-Cable clutch
-New fuel pump, carb and fuel lines braided
-New headers
-Switched to a 130amp one wire alternator
-Put in some pimp GT style fog lights
-Repaired leaky cowls (replaced the whole cowl basically)
-Wired up the 8-track to some new speakers, installed a small 30watt amp inconspicuously that will also facilitate my iphone to play music when the 8-track tapes just don't cut it



Future upgrades for me include:

-3 point seat belts
-Better bucket seats with head rest
-Possible EFI conversion with electronic fuel pump
-Replace chrome
-Perform mild body work
-Repaint the car some pimp Olive Green colour with white stripes
-Stroked 351w build~~~

As you can see, there is a lot you can do to your car.

And if your bumpers are rusty rechroming them cost more but is worth it.I bought a front repop bumper it was thinner.

Here's two excellent, inexpensive upgrades that I have done to my car:

Arning/Shelby Suspension Drop

289/302 Cylinder Head Port Matching

what would be a good upgrade for a i6

1slow67

2bbl carb, DSII or HEI distributor, dual outlet header, dual exhaust. If you have the money you can get an aluminum head, but they are like $1200+. But a 250 head or Aussie head would work as well and are cheaper.
