I have a stock 94 Tbird LX, and want to know some great ways to get some more speed out of it, or what parts i can swap out with other years. Any help would be great.

if 94 was the last year for the 5.0 then you should be able to go back at least to an 89 5.0 for parts dont quote me on that its just as i recall

How much do you want to spend?

well what engine do you have? if you have the n/a 3.8, there's not too much you can do without it still being a pig, or without spending a lot of money (ie. custom fabing a supercharger or turbo to it). at least with the 4.6 you have some potential. most mustang parts can be modified to fit the bird.

t-bird muscle, in 94 they switched to the 4.6l V8. 93 was the last year for the 5.0 in the bird.

its just a stock 94 3.8, any parts ideas, cost doesnt matter, as long as its not a new engine

well you can go big bucks and custom fabricate a supercharger or turbo charger. that'll give you the biggest boost. but it'll also require the changing of a lot of internals. your headgaskets will blow, without a doubt, if you put on an sc or turbo. you should port the stock headers and do a good flowing exhaust to help prevent it.

if you just want to go minor, get the heads port and polished, get a cam, exhaust, intake, 96/97 v6 headers.. but even that will only net you about 16 flat in the quarter if you're lucky.

My old 3.8 was only good for fuel economy and looks in order to get the power you are probably looking for your probably going to want a v8
