Yeah excpet you would prob. want 4.10 instead of 3.55 or 3.73 gears. But still the other mods stand.

The gears are a little harder unless your dad is a well rounded mechanic. You have to set the backlash and the shims correctly or you will have a whine from hell coming from the diff. As far as the ignition you can get new sparkplugs and some MSD wires and the TFI coil. It will help you burn better. Just be sure when you put the wires on that you get some separators and keep them AS FAR AWAY FROM THE HEADERS AS POSSIBLE. Once they touch the headers for a minute they are toast. All the other stuf fyou can do with your dad. The subframes require welding. They do however make bolt on which you can find at mustangtuning.com I believe and I think summit might have them. I'm really not too sure I go through corral for most of my stuff where you can buy great stuff for cheap. www.corral.net and go to the classifieds. Good luck and enjoy your time with your dad.

i learned the hard way about the whole wires/headers shouldnt touch..lol ya well ill see if
my brother knows about the gears cuz my dad is gettin tired of working w/ me haha..
so the upper and lower control arms give better traction? and the subframes are for
stiffness? people have also been telling me about a torque converter as well..is it worth it?

Cant help you with the torque converter. Someone else on here will though. Yeah the U/L control arms help with traction and the subframes make your car so much more stiffer around corners and turns and such.
