I am thinking 5.0L V8

In order: Tires, Wheels, Rear Sway Bar
Cost? It depends on what you get for tires and wheels. RSB prices are all over the place. There are preferences. I prefer H-Sport Comp. Lots of vendors carry those and others.

Also, you might want to post this question over in the non S threads as they have more experience with non S mods and could probably give you better insight and answers.

I agree... Suspension add so much to the cars fun factor.

you didn't get a pulley yet?

If so, get a pulley, then a header. there goes your 'bolt-on' modifications for your engine..

then start working on suspension and brake.
