Default 1988 Ford Mustang LX 2.3L

Okay....so just 2 questions.

1) Does anyone know of a good website with some modifications you can do to a stock 2.3L non-turbo engine? I know it's not a whole lot compared to doing up the 5.0L but I don't have money for that kind of an upgrade right now.

2) Can anyone give me suggestions on a name for my mustang? I'm having a hard time thinking of one.

This is what she looks like:

The 5.0L badges were thrown on by the guy who owned it before me...I think they look good there, and too lazy to take them off.

Found a 5.0L engine at a yard around here for $750...anyone have an opinion on that price? Too cheap or decent? Thinking about doing a 5.0L swap

Here in Socal (southern calfornia) you can get one for $220.. not sure what the prices are where you are, have you tried other yards?

I just picked up a complete T5 swap for $130, it was on their 1/2 sale, No more AOD for me.
