1. 64 falcon 3 peice style motor mounts (also available on early 65 mustangs)
2. www.fordpowertrain.com headers. I had tubular auto and the FPT headers are so mcuh better I would have paid more for them
3. Lower intake (Strip Dommy, torker, parker funnel web etc...don't fit under the stock hood) I used a 4v xcelerator for a while but my most recent build was for all out power (previous ones were for the wow factor of a 408c in a completely stock 65 mustang engine compartment)
4. Better radiator. I used a bolt in griffen. Others had had success trimming the radiator support some and installing a 69-70 radiator.
