OK so after some thinking and reasearch this is the list i would like to do for engine mods. Let me know if i missed anything or if something isnt worth it or if there is something that i need to consider before doing.

V8 TB
Autolight plugs
180 tstat
replace clutch fan with electric
MSD ignition system
Optima battery (just needs to be done soon, mines at least 4yrs old and NH is a cold place in winter )
