1987 ThunderBird Turbo Coupe to 5.0Li and AOD Reply #64 – March 23, 2013, 09:12:19 AM Tom, just let the guy V8 convert already. He's already decided, he's got stuff, if it doesn't work out the way he thinks it will, he'll just have to do it again. Everyone's journey with these cars is unique, why shouldn't his be?

1987 ThunderBird Turbo Coupe to 5.0Li and AOD Reply #67 – March 23, 2013, 12:10:51 PM Well the block is cracked so I'm not going to be messing with that any longer.I called junk yards for an engine all I found was a Grand Marquis and a Town Car, and a few trucks... I don't have any years for them though. I'm going to call back on that but what do you think on those v8 I want to stray away from trucks just cause their built a bit different...What about getting a modular v8 out of the newer mustangs? Their easier to find but how much would pure conversion cost be?? Quote Selected

1987 ThunderBird Turbo Coupe to 5.0Li and AOD Reply #72 – March 23, 2013, 03:52:29 PM You can block any user by clicking on their user name, its in the drop down thingy.The v-8's (302's anyways...) ended in about 2001. I believe they started in 1996. Quote Selected
1987 ThunderBird Turbo Coupe to 5.0Li and AOD Reply #73 – March 23, 2013, 04:24:42 PM Best bet these days is a Explorer engine, unfortunately they are "dressed" differently than the orig 5.0 in Birds, Stangs etc of the era... By that I mean the electrical configuration is entirely different, uses crank sensor, coil packs(no distributor), etc...I'd recommend looking for a 5.0 Bird/Coug parts car to help with all the little pieces necessary... I found one for $100 when I did my swap, was worth more like $500 for all the parts... Quote Selected
1987 ThunderBird Turbo Coupe to 5.0Li and AOD Reply #74 – March 23, 2013, 07:14:58 PM there are also some odds and ends that you will need to find to make the explorer engine work, but the block is the same as a fox 5.0 engine. Quote Selected
