Thumbs down Help with a 79 5.0

just recently purchased (really cheap) a 1979 mustang with an 88 302, front clip and body kit from the 88, cold air intake, stock 8.8 with 3:73 gears and lim slip, still has stock manifolds and 4 lug wheels, and it has been converted to fuel injection (im assuming its also from the 88) i would like some ideas on the cheapest way to gain power (not large amounts eventually it will get a 347 stoker) any and all ideas welcome

now the help part i am looking for a 6 in cowl induction hood and cant find one anywhere dont care what material, i also dont want to go with the 5 lug conversion for a while does anyone know where i can find a set (4) wheels for the car the ones on it are terrible, and the last thing what headers should i go with that will clear the 79 body and fit the 88 motor
