Welcome!  There's an 84 Bird for sale near me and I saw the Heritage tags on it and I had never seen those before.  But now I see youve got one.  Thats cool :) .

I am working on an idea to have the look of the TRX's but use more common 16 inch tires. I'll post pictures and info when I am done but I mocked up a set on my TC yesterday  and they look great.:grinno:

Thanks everbody!  I was getting real lonely thinking that there were few fans of these cars left out there. I see I am not the only one that loves them.:grinno: My wife races the gray 460 Bird and I race the TC 460. My daughter will be racing the 84 5.0 this year as well. We race at U.S. 60 Raceway in Hardinsburg, KY and we are still the only ones on a regular basis running the fox T-Birds. :birdsmily:

the 87 TC has 275-60-15 on 10 holes in the pics. I am getting some 16" TC wheels widened to 8.5 in. and when Mickey Thompson makes the new 295-50-16 Drag Radials in the spring, I want a set. The gray Bird has 325-50-15 s on weld draglites 15x9.X

Ooooo 460 under a stock hood. I like it :cool: . I always thought cowl hoods ruined the lines of these cars. I'm building up a 5.0 HO for my Bird this spring (it already has a 5.0 so it's a easy/cheap swap) but if I had money it would have a 460. You don't have overheating problems with the 460 in either the 83 or 87 cars when you drive them on the street do you?

Nice cars, welcome aboard!

Wow, you have the whole family involved and they enjoy it. That's a dream for me when I start a family.

You can't eat pictures.
 
And you could stand to put on a couple pounds.

Cooling is not a problem. The radiator is half full and with a 180 thermostat it runs at 175. I have a 17 in flex fan and it really sucks the air. The radiator is a Summit universal with big tanks and 2 big cores. The shroud is an E6 Mustang piece. Hood shuts without touching anything!X

This car is still in the construction phase. The pretty and powerful motor will come later. That is a mid 70's LTD low compression engine with D5 manifolds.
