Title: What to do with 88 t-bird
Post by: bigbada1 on March 03, 2009, 03:18:36 PM
I currently have an 88 5.0 thunder bird with bad AOD I am going to purchase an 88TC tomorow so I will be selling the 5.0  I have everything in my possition to do a T5 swap for the 5.0. My question is in your opinions would I be better off installing the T5 and sell it running or shoud I sell the car not running and the t5 swap kit seperate?

If you can get what you want for it without doing the swap, that would be easier for you. A running movable car would probably sell quicker.

+1

Then you can keep the TC stock, preserve and enjoy it. Put the T5 in 5.0 bird and build a fun weekend warrior. Then you'll have the best of both worlds. Cool!!

A guy I was in the service with told me a story about his then girlfriend and himself.  One day she asked him if he had to choose between her and his truck he said to her, "Well, I'll Miss ya..."

That's the key! If you get a vehicle for the wife and keep her happy, then you should have a green light to keep your vehicles. Note: In this case, "your vehicle" = TWO T-Birds.
