well 87 is a year of the forged trw pistons sooo up grade exhaust underdrive pulleys , some fuel stuff , cai and a 100 shot and smile at your low 13's slip 
ohh btw nittos or drag radials are a good mod for street or track and gears with the autos wake them up a bit also . so what do you plan on doing with the car?
btw if you wanted a t5 I have a friend with one for sale.

1990- 1991 had the forged motors.
Put a 4.10 gear in it and all the regular bolt-ons (exhaust, tB, MAF, etc.)
Pick up a Mustang magazine and start reading. The cars are easy to work on and cheap to get parts for.
Congrats on the purchase and feel free to post up any questions in here.
