First time 5.0 owner, what mods to get
First time 5.0 owner, 5-speed 1992 LX all stock. Owned a couple of Lightnings before and had the mod bug with them. This car will be a weekend cruiser, not a race track fixture. Looking to do some basic mods and was looking to experienced owners for opinions.
1) Headers-Short or Long/H or X pipe
2) Lowering springs-Eibach?
3) Gear selection- 3.55?
4) Mild cam in the future
Any suggestions will be appreciated

3.55's or 3.73's are a good cruiser gear for a 5-speed. Shorty headers are an easier install and there is less hassle with them when doing work later. Look to delete the smog stuff if you don't have emissions testing. Another thing often overlooked is brakes. I know your not looking to make huge power that you need to stop right away but fox brakes were never that good from the factory.

id go long tube headers, off road h or x pipe, free flowing mufflers like magnaflow or borla, full length sub frame connectors, upper and lower control arms, adjustable shocks/struts (strange), u/d's, delete smog, short throw shifter, 3.73's to 4.10's...
have fun!!!
