First mustang

Am 21 years old not making crazy money. I just bought my first fox body( a dream sense I was 6yrs old). It's got MSD ignition. Battery moved to the back. Bored .30 over. BBK cold air intake,373s, H pipe with flowmaster 50s, b&m slam shifter, custom paint, and eibach drag springs. I'm looking to stroke the motor to a 331 or 347. And maybe throw a turbo on it later on. Any advice on where to get parts? What kind of parts for my top end? Anything really. Just need some advice.
Thanks!

Nice car, congrats. Ive also just bought my dream Mustang and have been looking/wanting it for as long as I can remember! As for parts, I personally would first try to find a reperatable place in your local area. If you Can't find one, I suggest a good old google search where you will find anything and everything that can be delivered right to your door step!

Good luck with your search.

Congrats on the Fox body purchase. As for various parts, you can try checking your local area craigslist (sometimes really good deals on parts can be found) or maybe even flEa-bay.
IMO, be sure on your decision to go with forced induction on your engine before buying parts for the top end and the 331 or 347 stroker kit - you'll want boost-friendly parts (cam and pistons, for example) so you don't have to buy parts twice. Have fun, and try not to let the mod bug bite too hard. Yeah, right...
