The time has finally come

My 88 F-150 has bitten the bullet and is standing on one leg staggaring...LOL now its time for the GT-40 motor/trans and 3.73 rear end out of my race truck to be swapped into this one....I would like to know of some cheap parts places online you have used personally to buy some upgraded parts and sensors and the wiring harness for the sensors, underdrive serpentine pulleys and other misc stuff that you think I should change while I got it out....

BTW I put some new components:

EGR block off plate and a EGR solenoid eliminator simulator and works perfectly.....everything works A+

O2 sensor simulators work good, computer stated working perfectly

also if you dont have urethane motor mounts for your next engine change treat yourself to some...

Ford racing underdrive pulleys work good ...Temp runs a little higher than normal though....usually ran before the halfway mark now its after the halfway mark....no big problem though.
