pics of my t-birds (mostly engine)

here's the 88' t-bird with avenger 60cc aluminum heads, forged keith black domed pistons for 10.7:1, eagle rods and stock/balanced crank. explorer intake (currently porting a typhoon intake for a future swap) 1.7 scorpion rockers, trickflow stage two cam, canton oil pan, widage tray and girdle. Behind the 308 I have a 92' world class t-5 with a steeda shifter and stock clutch(for now)
 There's 2 inch lowering springs in all four corners and lincoln disks and calipers. axle wise I have a lincoln mark 7 with a detroit locker and 3.73s. And to the haters, go ford blue!!! oh yeah, one of the pics shows the engine with c90e iron heads which were replaced with the avenger heads

I certainly am! I'm not much of a body man, so luckly the 88' is rust free and pretty much dent free. I just have to work on the bumper covers and body kit.

Yeah herb, you got it. The machine shop that worked them didn't find the the crack in the #3 exhaust port. So there went $600+ down the drain:punchballs:  I need to find someone who can weld cast iron.
