As long as the Mustang parts are for an EFI engine you're good to go. Carb valve covers aren't worth the time on an EFI engine, and are more trouble than they're worth. Look on Ebay under Mustang valve covers, Mustang pulleys, Mustang "whatever you're looking for". A new intake will add a lot of shine if you get a polished one. That's the largest single piece on the engine when you open the hood. Your budget is your limit.....items I know of easily had (but they do cost)...
polished intake
chrome radiator hoses
chrome or polished valve covers
chrome or coated headers
chrome or polished water pump
chrome or polished pulleys
chrome or polished brackets
Chrome strut tower brace
etc........
Some parts are pretty high priced. Shop around and you can find some deals. Learn to polish some aluminum and that'll save a lot, and can give good results for really cheap.
It all looks great, but remember, with lots of chrome/polished parts also comes a lot of cleaning. It gets old fast.Pick a few parts that compliment the engine without going overboard. It'll make life easier.
