These are off of an MN12 50 Thunderbird, like a 92.Does it look like they will work on an 87 5.0 Thunderbird?
Thanks,
Chris

They look similar to what I borrowed from Herb to do the prototypes.

They are missing the little wings that poke thru the bracket, but I guess people cut those off anyway sometimes.

Here is a pic from a previous post to help you compare. I think there is another better pic somewhere on this board also.

By the way, 4thqrter & I discovered that the bottom brackets that sit on the K member shelf are the same for a V6 or V8 (at least for 87-88), only the top bracket that bolts to the block are vastly different for a V6/V8.

Going by the pics, I'd say they should work fine....or at at the very least be VERY close to being spot on.
