I get it... I really do. It's easy to just tell someone to google something and move on but that's not what makes a forum a good place for information. That said, I knew there was a build on here years ago that had a spreadsheet with a parts list. I don't know if it was ever "fully complete" or not but hey, it's a ton better than just search for it as the answer. Thus, I give the OP a helpful link. Stangnet's project "built to cruise" link below and if you scroll through that page you'll also see a link to the full parts list.

Now might also be a good time to tell us what all your requirements are though. Do you intend to keep power steering? AC? Front sway bar? What will be the intended use of the car, drag, road race, street? Given that there are SOOOO many options out there and different ways to use your Fox we need more info to help you with the parts selection. Besides, helping other people spend their money is the best part about a forum.
 
I would like to thank you for helping, I want to keep it as a daily use car and some times street race or rolling race
I need with power steering, AC upper and lower control arms , low compression pistons for supercharge with cams and heads, the block will keep it stock
 
For the engine I'd say just get a low compression aluminator, some BBK Coyote swap long tube headers and H pipe, Power by the Hour brackets for power steering and AC. You'll also need a hydroboost setup to keep power brakes which I would also recommend getting a 5 lug conversion using 03/04 cobra brakes/hydroboost. When you do that you'll need the manual proportioning valve, ebrake cables, etc... The list goes on.
 
I already bought a coyote engine 2015 without gearbox and went many wokshopes here in Dubai, no one one knows anything of list of parts and what are required. As soon as I start my project, i’ll Post it here

While I do agree with bird dog that forums are about sharing and helping, I also have to agree that in this case your own research would really help.

Most people's swap criteria requirements are different.
There are so many ways it can be done.
And I don't think there is a master list of what's necessary and how to do it because I bet no two builds are alike.

The simple fact that you really don't know where to start, you don't have a capable mechanic and you are interested in heads/cams/pistons (among the toughest most skilled part of the work) is concerning.

When I did my terminator swap, internet searching and reading was the #1 important skill.

This is going to be a hefty list of parts, be very labor intensive and extremely expensive.
 
I like your car. Looks mean. Not sure I would mess with an engine swap. Pushrod v8’s sound awesome to me. I get it though. Everyone is chasing more power. Seems like the number is so important to everybody. But you mentioned it being mostly a daily. Well the number isn’t as important to me at that point. Torque down low. A smooth steady idle. A pushrod v8. Isn’t your car fun to drive as is? Just sharing my opinion. Add to that I can’t afford a coyote swap.

I don't think people do swaps simply for the power numbers.
IMO, they do it more for the drivability and reliability.
There are plenty of ways to make big power with pushrod engines, unfortunately as the power goes up, so does the cost (drastically if you pass 500rwhp) and the reliability goes down.
If I had a dollar for every person I knew with a supercharged or turbo fox that blew a head gasket, i'd be a wealthy guy.

Around my way a good coyote is still fairly expensive, in a few more years when prices are lower we will probably see the swaps on a daily basis.
I know people find them cheap, but I think it's more the exception than the norm.

Honestly I love foxbody coz it’s my first car which I bought when I got a driving license “OLD IS GOLD”
Swapping to coyote coz I can easy challenge the new generation engines

Hey guys thanks for your advice, I took it so serious and I did my research on Google and also with some workshops.
My 1st step is to 2 up to swap to coyote engine with T5 gear
2nd change the suspensions break system and upper lower control arms
3rd repaint the car
4th change the Pistons to low-pressure with supercharge and smoth cams

I will add all the list of parts which I will use and the cost, to help someone else to swaps easy to coyote.

Fixed that order for you.
Do the brakes and suspension first. It will make the car safer and more enjoyable.
While you are at it, goto 5 lug. If those are skinny's up front, lose them, especially since it's a daily driver.
You will be essentially doubling the hp of the car by going to a coyote engine, stopping and turning will be far more important.
If you need help with suspension parts, just look through the maximum motorsports catalog.
Just don't buy the k member as of yet.

Thank God someone else fixed that before I saw it...

OP:
DO NOT add more power to a car that cannot turn or stop in a reasonable fashion for the power it already has. ALWAYS fix the chassis and brakes first, always. As mentioned, just get a maximum grip box from MM and call it a day. That's the easiest problem to solve for you. Call up Jack at MM, tell him your goals and give him your debit card info.
