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.

thanks all for the kind words..

the factory color on the car was silver. which i did like but i always wanted to paint it white.. so in about 1990 i striped her down and shot her white..

at the time i had a pretty hopped up screaming 302 with a trick AOD trans, but I always wanted stick a big block in there.. so in about 1991 I stuck in a 429 with CJ heads and a c6 trans.. its got a 8.8 rear with 3:73 ratio.  over all its been a really fun car to own.. besides that it rides better than most of the new junk on the road;)
