To each his own, it's the ultimate sacrilege to put a GM engine, and a V6 at that into the 1st Gen Tbird. Fwd? What in f*ck's name... Quote Selected

I love my Fords, but I wouldnt be opposed to an LSx motor in one of them. Say what you want but think about back when our hobby started. Anything swapped, anything went. Quote Selected
To each his own... Reply #11 – October 30, 2009, 07:29:00 AM I like it but I like anything unique but the question is why did he go with the gm motor. He could have went with the SC tbird motor that would have been really cool. Quote Selected

LOLI noticed :hick: The problem is restored to factory spec 55-57 T-birds bring big $$$. I know a guy with 3: a 55, a 56, and a 57 restored to factory condition. Each of them is worth $60,000+......
