Default mods

hey guys, i should be buying a 90-92 here within the next couple weeks. i want to get one thats completely stock so i can do all the mods myself. i have a little bit of money set aside for mods but im not sure what would be a better way to go. im thinking either 3.73 gears/control arms/underdrive pulleys, or a new intake manifold. would i notice any difference with the manifold. i wont be able to do mods for a while after this so i need mods that will make a difference by themselves. i think i wont notice a big performance difference with just a new intake manifold. is that right?

Good Luck finding a completely stock fox body

And if thats all the money you have for a while.
Then Gears+Exhaust would be best.

Get some 3.73's-4.10's
LT Headers
Off road X
and whichever mufflers you like

i got my mustang BONE stock...and with 89K original miles. you just have to look around. i wouldnt pass over a fox body if it had a cold air intake or flowmasters if it ran good, compared to a stock mustang that didnt run at all.

yeah i wont mind if it has only has a couple mods, but i dont want one that has anything major like a supercharger or something. i want to be sure that i know everything thats on it. im pretty sure im goin with gears for sure, but do you think exhaust would be more beneficial than control arms?
