you will need new plugs cause tfs uses different style and in instructions it'll reccommend type......head bolts=get a good set of arp ones......dowls reuse them from your block.....injectors?? depends on the hp level and rest of your combo..most h/c/i set ups can still use the 19's but when other mods in the future come 24's would really give you a better buffer for proper tune

new radiator, Cold air, mass air, EGR spacer, TB, TF intake manifolds, b303 cam, stage 2 clutch, cobra trans, alum driveshaft, 3.73, pro 5.0 shifter.
