Yepp gave you some of the best mods so I will expand a little more.
TPS Sensor mod - $2 (bolts and washers from local home improvement store)
V8 TB - $50 from junk yard(modifying required)
Harland Sharp 1.7 - $400?
Muffler - $90 (Flowmaster)
3932 Autolite spark plugs
Personally I have not done the IAC and crank sensor mod but I have heard good things about them. I did install a 10" air cleaner with a 3" high K&N air filter. The air cleaner made the exhaust sound louder and deeper.

the muffler is already done
where can i find how to do the IAC, TPS, and crank sensor mod?
also would the new throttle body be a hard mod?
and one more thing, i seen that K&N doesnt make cold air intakes for the 3.9s so could u direct me to a respectable one?
Thanks

I have a How To pdf file from Speedtweaks many years ago. It describes IAC, Crank sensor mod, etc... If you want you can give me your email and I can send you the file.
Oh and the spark plugs are Autolite 3923 not 3932.
I went with a custom cold air intake and switched back to my 10" air cleaner assembly. I have a picture of my engine here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/717930

Hi Gouje
I would recommend NGK FR5 plugs over the autolites.
These motors really respond to the V-power plugs nicely. Also Decent set of wires and a cap and rotor with brass inserts. If you have a local NAPA call or head to it, Give them your truck info and ask for Echlin cap an rotor. They are American made quality parts and all brass inserts.

well i just did a tune up not too long ago so that would prlly have to wait.
which brings up another question, am i pretty much screwed if on of the spark plugs are cross threaded? when i was doing the tune up, one of the plugs would loosen up a bit, then wouldnt turn so im guessing its cross threaded
