Glad to hear you're ready to start modifying your mustang. There are so many routes you can take, it would be way too much to list them all. Overhaul can mean so many things, however, to keep things fairly simple I would look to purchase the best "packages" you can find. This will help to take the guesswork out of what to buy and ensure you get all the parts you need for a particular job.

For example, rather than rebuilding your motor yourself and having to worry about little things like pushrod length and compression ratios, you could save yourself the trouble by using an already built crate motor from companies such as Ford Performance Solutions or Roush Performance.

For suspension upgrades, I would look into one of the “suspension paks” from Steeda. They have three stages to choose from. Maximum Motorsports and Griggs Racing also offer very comprehensive suspension packages.

If you’d also like to clean up your interior, check with a place like Latemodel Restoration Supply. They sell all sorts of restoration items such as seat covers, carpets, floor mats, door handles, weather-stripping and more.

Beyond that, I would just pick up a few Mustang magazines and talk to a few people at local car shows. Its always best to see what people are doing in person and its always fun to chat with fellow enthusiasts.

Good luck and have fun!

i wanted to do the same thing with my 86 stang, instead of overhaulin the 302, i bought a 351w. its probably the best choice i could have made for my stang. the simplicity of the 351 is so much more easier to work with than the 302. if you make the decision to do an engine swap, feel free to email me and ill give you all the info on what you need, if you want to stay with the 302, i would recommend a new intake(upper and lower, BBK SSI is a good intake, also get new injectors and a CAI), exhuast (headers back), a mild cam and heads(trick flow would be your best bet, twisted heads from them are GREAT)..honestly there is just too much to list on here, if you wanna know more just email me at [email protected]

Replace all the suspension bushings with Energy Suspension, new shocks/springs, a Tremec transmission and rebuild the engine. Should be good to go.
