Default Tired sn95 Motor?

I have a 1994 Mustang GT, and it has 116K miles on the motor. I have added Headers, full
off-road exhaust, cold air induction with K&N, peformance tune up, and of course 3.73 gears. However I was told by my mechanic that there is nothing else he suggest for motor with 116K miles on it. Any suggestion on what I can do next get get some more ponys, and is it worth it
considering the miles? Any suggestions will help.

Ebay head lights, got them really cheap..under $100 bucks. I think i'm going to at least go with some u/d pulleys for now. Does anyone know about how much horse power I might have with the bolts on's I have added?

116k is nothing, Ive got 125K, you can do an HCI swap and still be safe

my old 91 had 124k on it when I did the H/C/I it ran 13.0's at 104. The crank snapped at 137k but it was not due to the H/C/I. I had a lean condition which caused detonation and the crank walked.

My 94 had 208k on it and ran a best of 14.8 @ 94 bone stock. The new 331 has 251 miles total on it now. I took the heads off of that 208k mile motor, and the hone marks are still there, and no cylinder lip at all. I could easily get away with a hone and new bearings/rings and go another 200k. Ill get a pic of the old cyliders if anyone is interested. I was amazed.

They look great man. To me they look just as good as the smoked ones from blue oval. I've been contemplating getting some but until now I didnt know anyone that had the smoked ones. Now I'm sold and will be buying in a few months.

Oh and most will say for you to save your moneyinstead of gettingunderdrive pullies
