Hello guys I'm pretty new to this site I've already learned a lot but still need help/advice

I've got a 95 F-150 5.8 and I really wanna build this motor to push some more power and torque but I have no idea where to start it is all stock but I want to change that lol so if you guys can help that would be great!

Thanks in advance

There is one important question - how much do you want to spend?

$1000-$1500 will get you a rebuilt motor and a bit more performance but there are limitations on how much you can do before the EFI and fuel systems need to be upgraded as well.
Thanks a lot! I'll do some reading
