This is my 95 Ford Thunderbird.
Currently the car has a PI motor swap,Jba headers,Walbro 190 LPH fuel pump,3.73 gears,and slightly beefed trans.
The car recently ran a 14.502 @96.90 mph/I know its got about another 5 tenths in it but I need a stall and better weather.

mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird This pic is of my bird with my buddys 89 5.0.his car.The 5.0 os currently running 14.4 @96Mph with motor knock and traction issues.

mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird This is the moter shot.I havent gotton any new pics with the intake yet cause these pics where taking in California and i just moved to new york.So i will have new ones up soon.
mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdAnother angle of the moter

So you all know i got the straight pipes going from the cats back and the resonator has been completly removed and replaced with a straight pipe.I only did the straight pipes for the simple fact that the mufflers were choking it and i wanted a little sound.I will be replacing with X-pipe true dual or a mid mount DI/DO muffler.Depends on what is cheaper.
mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird I think the body kit adds a nice touch to these cars.
In this pic i was currently without the center caps due to reckless driving and California dips.

mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird

This is my buddys car it has hooker super comp racing headers,9mm pulg wires, 80 mm throttle body,straight pipes,and a 4.10 rear end.and a bbk intake.this car is crazy

I like this one cause it shows off the rear end of the car and u can see the full rear bumber very well with the dauls and the spoiler.
mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdNice side shot

mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdHere is the latest shot with my SC rims

Just another angle of my baby
mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdI love this front end.it looks mean
mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdHere is the motor im currently running.A POS NPI 4.6L with restricted heads and terrible manifold design.
mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdJBA headers 140 bucks on ebay 700 from JBA.i think i lucked out.
mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdThese are my new custom gauges Scott made me.Havent seen them with bold numbers and flames.So as far as i know im the only one that has them.
mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdThis is a night shot of them.Still a little dim even with brighter bulbs and an extra light i wired in.

Ok guys i started the motor swap.and her she is.
mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbirdmybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird
Started buy removing the air intake and exposeing the top of the motor.

mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird

Isnt that the most ugly and restive plenum and throttle body you have ever seen?mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdAfter an hour being frustrated of trying to figure out where to bolt the chains we decided to rip the intake manifold off.

mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird

This is my father the mad scientist at work.Yes he hates me for making him help me with this.But there wasnt really anything he could do about it.Love ya Dad.mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird
And here is my old man checking for clearance on the headers.Which wasnt very much on the driver side.I tore up the header wrap taking it out.Kinda pisses me off cause that stuff isnt cheap.mybird95's 1995 Ford ThunderbirdAnd here is the motor when we started to pull it out.With the trans connected i might add.

mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird

Here are the two different intake setups.Im sure you can see one reason i wanted to swap the motor.mybird95's 1995 Ford Thunderbird
