fix up 97 thunderbird

i was pondering buying an old muscle car (ex. 67 camaro), but i realized that the pricing was way out of my league. i have a 97 thunderbird lx with a v6 in it now, what could i do to fix it up? i mainly want more power because the body of the thunderbird i think is already pretty nice.
i plan on getting a body kit, paint job, cold air intake already..
what else could i do? is it even worth it to fix up this car or should i consider something else?

thanks

My suggestion is if you want a muscle car feel out of your 3.8 thunderbird is to throw that motor directly into the garbage and replace it with something like a pi 4.6 or a 5.0.

But if you're looking to supe up the 3.8 head over to www.tccoa.com and use the search button a bit
