I'm new to this forum. I've owned 3 t-birds. (83, 88 and currently 87)
I really like these cars, and I've been pointed to this forum for extra help on what to do with my t-bird. The motor blew last week, and now I'm trying to figure out if I want to keep the 3.8 or ditch it for something else. So far the site is looking good...I'm going to keep on searching.

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I've decided to do the 302 carb swap. I like the idea of the I6, but I don't have a place I can keep the car down and work on it for a longer period.

t-bird85, you might be getting pm's from me eventually, once I find a 302 for the swap.
