Well.......
the full suspension between the GT's, LX's and 2.3L 4 bangers are interchangable. what ever you can bolt up to a GT, you can do the same with the 4 banger. Same thing with the full interior. So anything put into the car is interchangeable.
There is a K & N air filter that you can use, but things are going to be engine specific. Unless your gonna get drastic and chop a 5.0-H-pipe in half and use half a cat back, there is not much to bolt on.
The biggest improvement will be to add a turbo, similar to the SVO stuff. You can always port and polish the heads, and bump the compression up a bit, even bore it out a little. You can also port and polish the throttle body and the intake. You need to look at the cosworth parts for the 2.3L engine.
You can go to these links for performance parts for the 2.3L Ford engines.
