I use a $89 AutoZone radiator that cools mine just fine. It is aluminum with plastic tanks. Unless you are making big power numbers or are running boost, it works fine.
I like this stuff for the tune-up parts http://www.performancedistributors.com/

Stay with the stock units on all of those parts. The stock ignition/cooling systems from Ford are good pieces, and replacing them with aftermarket parts on a stockish motor isn't going to do anything except waste money.

I agree. Why fix it if it ain't broke.

I'll second this! OEM ignition components are pretty darn good!

autolite or NGK plugs...the cheapest ones they have and FRPP plug wires...stock everything else... Radiators are expensive and unless you NEED Them there is no reason to go big
