I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

As a FYI: the opening on the stock Explorer GT40 upper is 68mm-70mm depending on how it was finished. I've measured 4 of them and one was 68mm, two were 69mm, and one was 70mm. All of them were off 96-97 Explorers. I have the one with a 70mm opening on my Thunderbird right now as I'm running a 70mm TB. You can open them up easy but since I had 4 laying around it was easier to just use the one with the correct opening.

check yours again,,
i was measureing about 1'' or so up inside the bore,, not the actual end of the bore.
i noticed the bore on the end where the spacer mounts kinda tapers inward a little.
