here's the 88' t-bird with avenger 60cc aluminum heads, forged keith black domed pistons for 10.7:1, eagle rods and stock/balanced crank. explorer intake (currently porting a typhoon intake for a future swap) 1.7 scorpion rockers, trickflow stage two cam, canton oil pan, widage tray and girdle. Behind the 308 I have a 92' world class t-5 with a steeda shifter and stock clutch(for now)
There's 2 inch lowering springs in all four corners and lincoln disks and calipers. axle wise I have a lincoln mark 7 with a detroit locker and 3.73s. And to the haters, go ford blue!!! oh yeah, one of the pics shows the engine with c90e iron heads which were replaced with the avenger heads
heres the DD and 88'..and yes, paint is on the agenda:hick:
Sweet looking engine you got thar!
a few random shots
Engine and trans are lookin sweet.
Looks like your already getting her ready for paint.
here's the 94' tbirds engine...yep, thats dark ford blue. also a pic of the exploder upper just completed for install
I certainly am! I'm not much of a body man, so luckly the 88' is rust free and pretty much dent free. I just have to work on the bumper covers and body kit.
sweet, i see you got some alluminum heads was that your problem? looks awsome!!!!
Man that looks sweet!!!!!! Love the polished exploder intake!
*scratches head* I coulda swore I sold you a 351 lol
lookin awesome man.
Well.. that settles it. I want my motor to be bright ford blue!
Thats for my next engine....It may become a 408TT:evilgrin:
Yeah herb, you got it. The machine shop that worked them didn't find the the crack in the #3 exhaust port. So there went $600+ down the drain:punchballs: I need to find someone who can weld cast iron.
Cooooll cars
I don't care what color i paint my next engine i just wish it was that nice and that clean. All 3 birds are nice hope the see your other 80s bird get a paint job kind of soon and that 94 looks good what color you gonna paint it.
can you get to the cracked area? i might have a guy at work that can fix em. you still want to trade rockers?
Jon, Still got that XR7?
Nope...I found lots of rust holes in the floor pan and sold it to a friend who in turn let his ex-girlfriend steal it from him and she used it for a partial trade for some py 80's honda. I should have just kept it.
Nice!!
Sweet:D
And go Ford blue :D
That engine looks tooooooo good to go into a car :D Mount that puppy on a stand and display it in your living room :D
Seriously, That's a good looking engine and tranny.
