Didn't do this with my T-bird but DID do it with my Ranger.  It's had a 351W in it for 15yrs.  Going to yank it today to drop in a 387W built on a Lightning block!!

You sir, have became my goled hero, lol.

Gonna post a few pics of it? There's a few of us wouldn't mind seeing, I'm sure ;)

Nahh not going to deck the block it only had 30k miles on it and in my opinion unless I was going full race it's a waste

Not a waste at all, the more square things are the better over the long haul.  If you have access to the machine and its basically free it is well worth while.

I'd like to dyno mine to see what I make, if you dyno yours I'd be curious to see the results. I'd like to see mine over 400 hp but I have no idea, needs a tune for sure.
