funny that you ask this  , the last time it was out before it expired it ran an 8.901 @86 mph 2.57 60 ft time on motor, car had been mid 7's on 50 shot,before and had slowed sinificantly .That was what had made my desicion to finnally do the motor swap i had been putting off for so long 6.0's here we come :D



i hope to get a few pics up of the motor swap soon :D

i am working on the hood situation , i am kind of torn between a boss 429 style hood scoop or a harwood 8" cowl scoop. :crazy:

there is not a hood for t-birds that is that tall
Title: Re: a few pics of my birds
Post by: Haystack on September 28, 2005, 12:59:24 PM
you could always just get a cowl add on and reverse it over the air cleaner. I dunno but I think that that would be pretty bad ass.
Title: Re: a few pics of my birds
Post by: tbirdmanjwg on September 28, 2005, 03:06:28 PM
You should do the boss 429 hood scoop, after all that would be quite bad ass with having a 429.....and be unique like your engine.

it would be near impossible to make look "" correct"" as far as fit  cause the carb about 1/2 out of the hood with it closed.

it would look cool though .. :D

Dumb question but how did ya make that custom switch panel for the windows and mirrors? It looks pretty cool:D . By the way get a hood scoop on that thing. If ya don't it might suck down a low flying bird or something :giggle: !

hehe acient chinesse secret:D  i was thinking of making them  for sale but still in the fabrication stages of durability.  i used a stock switchplate as a pattern and hand made the rest. everything bolts as stock.

Hay Sleeper, I had no idea the swap was going this good. I talked to you on the Tccoa about my Turbo. I like the Cobra mags on fox bodies and Bullets on MN12s. Thats the combo I was thinking of doing before my 94 4.6 got totaled while I was sitting at a red light. Still trying to get money from there insurince company. I still need to to get both sets of mags becouse I'm looking to get another 94-95 4.6. But both T-bird look great and thanks for the Aux shaft it works great but now the cam is messing up and the Turbo is down for a forth time. I think its been parked for more days then it's been driven. I'm thinking of rebuilding the 2.3 and just make sure it's all in good working order. Your cars look great and I can't wait to see some track pic and times from the 429. I hope everything works out and that eveything turns out that good on my projects. Good luck

I sure wish I had your Mustang for my next Caddy swap.

Still looking, they go from cheap and very beat to nice and expensive.

I want cheap and nice.:giggle: but it has to be a notch.  The production numbers say that about 1/2 built were notch but the hatch is all you see.
