Title: alot of hard thought
Post by: SLEEPER T-BIRD 87 on April 09, 2006, 07:06:41 PM
has left me with the decision to finally swap the big block out of the t-bird into the coupe.This left me with a 302 and 5 spd to put back in the T/C :) so it looks as if it may see the road in the future and be back to a drivable state.


BTW i love torque:bowdown:

dunno  factory rating is 360hp/480 ft lbs

maybe i can get it broke in and not breaking driveline parts long enough to take it to the dyno.

p.s it broke the slip yoke and the front u joint today :( 15 miles in

was it more of a straight forward swap into the stang? doesnt look like it's to tall. by the way thats an EX 4 banger car what does it have for brakes / front suspenion? not the py 4 banger stuff does it ?    to bad you cut up your tc hood.  have fun looks cool as hell

less room in the stang around the header/firewall area.It still has the 4 cyl brakes and v-8 springs. it stops fine so far i have a set of 11" brakes waiting just in case:D
