I would get the outside up to par if it is not already. Go ahead and put a nice hood, paint and whatever you want on the outside. Decide what direction that you want to go with your car and stick to it. Don't buy stuff that you don't want or need. I would go ahead and if you want to put the 5 lug conversion on it and then put whatever wheels you want on it. Then after the outside is done than do the motor (4.6 or 5.0 or stroker or whatever) and do your interior. But the main thing is to decide what direction you want the car to go. Do you want it for a street car, drag car, or street/strip car?? Then base all of your decisions off of that.

I would go with a bored 302 to like a 306 or if you have the money then put a 331ci. and then put a good set of heads on there like AFR 185's or 205's, good set of forged pistions, an E or F 303 cam, Trick Flow or Holley Systemax upper and lower, some good roller rockers, a 3.73 or 3.55 gear, long tubes(cause they sound awesome on a Fox ) and full exhaust, upgrade the fuel system, a power adder like Nitrous and spray the shit out of it or put a nice Vortech setup on it or if you can afford it go Turbo or and a good set of Nitto 555R's or Mickey Thompson Drag Radials.
