I contacted the guy. I went and looked at it. It is a very nice car. It drove perfect. The a/c even blows cold. I can't believe every option worked. Even the heated seats. It runs out strong. I told the guy if he parts it out. I want some stuff. He said he was only getting rid of it, because it sits and he does not drive it. It is the original paint. It does have some minor surface rust. It is better in person. The interior is all there. It has a rip on the drivers seat he had a picture of it in the ebay ad, and it will need a head liner. It is a very clean car. It also has the Anniv floormats and convience kit and owners manual. He also has another set of original mats in the plastic and in the ford motor company box. He also has another set of Gold Cougar rims for it. He said he was going to buy another car a old buick. If I had the money I would of bought it on the spot. He said he would take 2500.00 for all of it. I could not imagine that thing being parted out. It is one of the nicest 87's I have seen. Mine looks like a parts car next to it and I have 89000 miles on mine. His paint was alot nicer than mine. Someone has to get it before it is gone. I wish he left it up on ebay. Someone would have hit the lottery with it. I guess it would have been like striking oil. By the way I was just kidding about the Color of the 20th anniv. I KNOW they only come in this color.
It is the same color as mine. I was hoping it was a different color than my 20th Anniv. I have been looking for ever for a different color 20th Anniv. The ones that I have looked at have been the same color. I don't understand. :hick:
I think I am going to steal a car on Ebay. I can't believe how cheap these cougars are becoming. I don't know if I should by his or sell mine quick. Before mine is only worth 500.00. That is scary:toilet:
Hey guy's since we are talking about digital dashes. I am in the process of changing to a mass air computer. Will this effect my dash on a 87 Anniv. I was wondering if I would loose my guages and inst fuel economy and other neat things the dash has. Thank You
Hey guys, I was wondering. A stock 302 in a 87 cougar is it the same as a 86-93 roller block? I am getting ready to give the old cat some new teeth. I am trying to figure out if my block would work or am I missing something. I keep on seeing roller blocks and tappet blocks. I have a powerdyne supercharger and some alum gt 40 heads and a E303 cam waiting to go to work along with 30 lb injectors and a Performer intake. I am just wondering about the stock block in the car is it a roller and what pistons are in it. Thank You :hick:
Hey Guy's UPDATE on Naughty Kitty. I have been very busy buying parts or teeth for the cougar. This is what I went with so far. I bought a Powerdyne Supercharger BD11A 10 pounds of boost. I know I was not sure about Powerdyne but a few friends of mine have them in their mustangs. They have had no problems at all knock on wood. They have had them for over 3 years. I also picked up a set of Gt 40 Y303 heads ported and polished by kenne bell. I also have a E303 cam for it. I wanted it to idle and be able to drive it. I went with Speed Pro Forged flat top pistons 30 over with 4 relief cuts each. I don't think I have to worry about clearance with E303 cam unless I go with 1.7 rockers. I heard the 1.6 will keep the low end torque verses 1.7's. Still thinking about rockers. Any Ideas? I also went with 30lb injectors and a 80mm mass air. I am also thinking about going with the Edelbrock Performer RPM II intake and a 75mm throttle body. They say it is good for 1500-6500 rpms. Looking for ideas. Thanks Again
I have question about exhaust manifolds. I have a 87 aniv with 5.0. I am going to put GT40 Heads Y303's on it. What header or exhaust manifold should I use. It is a colum shift automatic. I read some of the tech reviews and they said mustang 1 5/8 unequal length. I don't know who makes them. Any Ideas Thanks Again.
Hey Thanks. I heard the Gt -40p heads were a little trouble trying to get a set of Exhaust manifolds to fit in our Cougars. I want to keep my automatic and linkage. Do you know what exhaust manifolds or headers that would work. With out a bunch of headaches. Thanks
Hey guy's Thank You for the warm welcome. Yes I am new here. I am glad to see that there are some people who like Cougars and Thunderbirds out here. I rember in High School my Father bought a brand new 87 Cougar Aniv. It was sweet. I loved driving that car. It was a nice handling car. It stuck to the road. I tested it being 17 and all. I had alot of good times with that car. He ended up getting rid of it in 1989. So after I got rid of my toys 71 Gs convert and my T-type. I got married and had a son. Now it is time for toys again. So I sat there and rememerd the Cougar. I told the wife about it. I told her if I find a 87 Aniv I am going to by no matter what. She agreed with me. I found one of course. So here I am talking with my new friends. My new Cougar is going to need some work. I found one that has not been molested. It does need some TLC. I will take pictures for you guy's and post them. By the way have you guys seen that Hot Rod Do it yourself Series on Engines. It is a magazine that came out in the fall of 2006. I picked one up at Border Books last month. They took a Junk Yard 5.0 and made it put out about 400hp. You have got to see it. Thanks Again Guy's
Hey Guys I am planning on rebuilding my 87 Aniv 5.slow to a 5.Go. I was thinking of rebuilding it from the pan to Intake. I want to keep the block so the numbers match. This is what I want to use. I went with the Speed Pro forged pistons 30 over. I like the way the Cobra R intake looks. I just don't know if I should go with something else. They say the R is good for up to 350 horse. I can't find anywhere that say how big is the intake plenum is on the R 60mm,65mm,70mm. I was thinking about 1.7 pedistal Ford Racing rockers. I was also thing about a Ford racing E 303 cam. I am stuck on the heads. I was thinking about the Edelbrock Performer Rpm heads with 1.90/1.60 valves. 60cc chamber it should put me at around 9.2:1 comp. I just don't like the price of them. Do you think I can get that out of a set of GT-40 heads. I heard the gt-40 P heads were a pain in the a*s for plugs and exhaust manifolds. I was also thinking about putting a supercharger on it down the road. Do you think my compression might be too high. I am thinking with theses parts I should be at around 350 hp:hick:
