[bigbrownbird]

Hi everyone, my name is Lee and i have a 1978 Tbird. While I know that I'm in the wrong part of this forum, I had some questions for you guys.
I'm looking at buying a 1990 Tbird for a daily driver. Charcoal gray leather interior, power everything, auto, 3.8. Needs paint and a frontend rebuild. Cheap. My questions are this:
1) has anyone tried the polyurethane bushings in the frontend of thier car and how are they?
2) I'm not a fan of 3.8's. My mom's lincoln used to eat em alive. How hard is it to swap in a 4.6 or a 5.4, and did these cars ever come with a manual tranny? Also, the engine is fresh from a rebuild, so is the 3.8 worth any money?

Thanks,
Lee
