my truck is a 1993 ford f-250 4x4 with a 5.8l 351 in it. i was wonder what i could do to my truck to make it get better horse power, run and sound better, get better gas milage, and just over all improve the truck. i already plan on installing a cold air intake, all new brake pads, brake lines, and new drums. it has a brand new oil pan.im putting a new fan belt and wiper motor in it. im also installing a new ignition switch. anything you guys would suggest i add to my truck?

what would you guys suggest for an exhaust?. i want it to sound and look nice but be affordable.

thanks:)

Throw some 2 inch cherry bombs on it and long tailpipes. That is the cheap way to go for exhaust plus it will rapp like hell when you get into it. I think they are less than 20 bucks each for the mufflers. Replace the plugs/wires/cap/rotor that will also add some performance. You could also get a computer chip to boost the power up as well.

Just remember a free breathing engine needs to s**t too. Try shorty headers. I have a 93 F150 with a 5.8L and I'm looking to give it a boost too!
