Best bang for the buck?

I'm interested in making some upgrades to the suspension under my car. The car is a 70 Dart w/ factory 318, 904 tranny, power steering, drum brakes.

I'm going to do this upgrade on somewhat of a limited budget, so unfortunately for me, that limits my options quite a bit. But here is what I was thinking...

Front (and possibly rear) sway bars, MP sub frame connectors, and new shocks. I'm thinking of stopping there. Will I have a noticeable improvement in handling and ride improvement? I know lots of you guys are doing an incredible job of some pretty major builds, but like I said, I'm on a much tighter budget...

I just don't want to keep the 'boat' feel that my car has. I have not driven it hard yet, but I want to have some fun with it after I get the 360 swap done.:burnout:
