It is a '86 gt vert. I wanna keep the speed density for some strange reason. I will not bore you with names below only parts. I have picked these up here and there over the past couple of months and need to get them on. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

255 fuel pump
24 lb injectors
75 mm throttle body with spacer
underdrive pulleys
full length subframes
cold air kit
shocks/springs/struts/shock isolators
shorty headers/h pipe/catback
3.55 gear

Little too much injector for a car without heads and a decent cam. The larger injector may end up hurting more than helping on you combination. Other than that I would think those parts will make a decent start.

Agree with DMAN302, too much injectors...Pulleys and down seems to be right. Install an el cooling fan as well.
Your "flowrestricted" heads dont support the upper mods you planning, TB, intake etc. together with the Speed Dens. system.

dont get the injectors yet, the injectors are definately too big until you atleast get a good h/c/i combo, I think the TB is a little big for starters too.. I would get a intake manifold then a 70 TB.. just some advice

Since this is a convertible, my opinion (and experience) is to do the full-length subframes, swap to the 87-93 spindles (for reasons of ordering struts), 73mm calipers, rest of suspension (decent springs/shocks go a LONG way). This makes the car a lot more safer and fun/comfortable to drive. Then look to gears, pullies, then the changing of the h/c/i setup.
