This is the Thunderbird. As it sits, it has a 3.8L CFI engine in it, and has no balls. Over time, ive put a full console, floor shifter, analog gauge cluster, turbo coupe seats, turbo coupe steering wheel, turbo coupe swaybars, some cougar turbine wheels with ford centercaps, and some other odds and ends to it.
In progress for the car as we speak:
This is a 5.0 out of a buddies 88 cougar. He did the HO swap in his cougar, so he brought me the old standard output so I can swap a 5.0 into the bird above. Since those pictures have been taken, a lot has changed, as it was only mocked up for pictures at the time.
The rundown on this 5.0 is:
Stock 130ish thousand mile short block
Stock E7TE heads
Stock HO cam
Flowtech long tube headers
EGR delete
Smog delete
Stock HO intake manifold and throttle body
Modified wiring harness
87 Mustang EEC with SuperChips modules
Also in the works:
Lowering using SN95 springs
Rear from a 1986 Turbo Coupe, its a 7.5" with 3.45's and T-Lock
11" brake conversion up front
Manual rack
A/C removal
Electric Fan of some sort, most likely a Mark VIII
Eventually, the car will be seeing:
5-lug conversion
rear disk conversion with 3.73's
T5 swap
poly bushings throughout
Black 17" bullit wheels
