Title: 83 Thunderbird with mods
Post by: thunderjet302 on March 26, 2014, 02:17:36 PM
83 Thunderbird with mods. Great pictures and description in the link. If you want $9500 for a car perhaps you should tell the potential buyer why it's worth $9500 or at least what "high performance" parts are on the car. Plus more than two py pictures.

I'd like to know what "high performance" parts it has. Most of the time these things have an E303 cam and GT40 or Pro Comp heads, which isn't "high performance" in my book. Hell I wouldn't even want a car with those junk Pro Comp heads.

Curious as to why they used a box upper intake.

I see a crankcase evac system. Weird to see one on a mass air car with no forced induction.... but the box intakes are intended for either forced induction or a car that REVS...they are not designed for low end grunt in a naturally aspirated application.  Looks like a relatively clean setup.  Good luck getting it to pass emissions in a lot of states on the visual side of things with that evac system though.  That type of evac system and catalytic converters are generally a no-no as well unless you run an oil separator in line.  I'm guessing it has none though...

Heck, you're close by.  Call him from a friend's house.  I'm actually curious!

I might give him a ring from work on break. I'm curious what parts it actually has.
