As goes for plugs/wires, if there are any semi performance plugs out there, I run ac delco iridium plugs in my pontiac grand am and I drove over 100miles on half a tank crazy I know, along with new taylor spiro pro wires 8mm... really helped..

As for the air filter, would anyone be able to direct me in a possible K&N cone filter setup? I was looking at the engine the other day and saw that after the stock hosing its like a MAF with a square exit? Is there anyway around this?

If not, could always option for K&N Drop-in if available...

fuel filter would be OEM...
As said Ford use Motorcraft plugs.
Get what the good book calls for.
I would just stay with a good quality stock air filter and fuel filter and plug wires.
Spend your money on what it needs first .
Also a good time to check belts and hoses and coolant and battery and electrical system.
Check transmission fluid and brake pads
