I would like to buy

a 3.73 rear end gear with correct speedo gear

5% overdrive sc pulley with correct belt

aluminum intake system cold or under hood

Where can I buy these performance parts aside from the classified section
 
Just a thought.
I have changed the factory intake to an aftermarket a couple of times. The decrease in performance from the stock system to something sucking hot air from the engine compartment like you're thinking is easy to feel . The engineers designed the stock system to work in tandem with the MAF and throttle body to get the maximum performance.

Unless you route the intake down into the inner wheel well away from the heat you will lose power.

Take your car out on a cold day and see how any supercharged or turbo car likes cold air compared to a hot day, or adding a real front mount intercooler.

My ‘91 has a K&N 57-2505-1 “performance air intake system”. It definitely woke up my motor, and the blower whine was substantially increased. I know sound doesn’t equal horsepower, but it makes me grin from ear to ear. Well it did anyway, until I blew it up this summer.
