Ok, so here's the deal...
I'm a 19 year old college student with a '93 LX Hatchback. 2.3L all the way baby
here's my dilemma:
I can easily get a 5.0 in my car, no problem at all...at almost no cost, because of some friends that have left overs from their own experiences, but I really can't afford the difference in fuel economy, because it's a 30 mile drive to school every day, one-way. so that's at least 60 miles\day I gotta be driving. cutting my fuel economy by 50-60% would really put the hurt on my wallet.
so im just looking for simple, cheap-ish ways to better what I already have. problem is, I don't really know where to begin...I've never done much in the way of work under the hood before, I stick mostly to body work and interior mods.
if anyone has any suggestions on where to start\places to look for the parts I need, i'd really appreciate it if you could email them to me here:

and put the word "mustang" in the subject if you could...that way I can filter it to a folder where I can find it (too much junkmail in my email =\)
I'd prefer to be able to do the work myself to cut out installation costs, so the simpler the better, but racing is what my family is all about, so if I needed help, it's actually pretty readily available, so it doesn't have to be like...super-idiot easy. just simple enough that i won't have to more or less have someone else do it completely
Thanks, any and all help is\will be much appreciated.

You had 2.73's in the GT (assuming you were stock) compared to 3.73's in the 2.3...there's your mileage diff.
