and from what i can tell you can use fox parts when it comes to say body and such...
for headers shorty headers look like they will work but i do not guaranty any thing, you also have the option of having things custom made, such as your exhaust system... other then that im not seeing much...

Is there a specific mod that you have in mind that you can't find?

well you could tear down the engine find the piston specs(diameter EXACT not like abotu 3in like EXACT measurement, you need a micrometer)
get new pistons, high or low compression
new connecting rods and new steel crank. then a custom cam
they sell 6 cylinder performance intakes i believe that should work if not SSMS has them
