Be careful with superchargers. while these cars did come with a supercharger on a V6, the superchaged 3.8 was a whole different block, rods, pretty much a beefier design. I'd say 5.0 it, it'd be cool and kinda easy. just my two cents worth... Lee

hey guys! as my frame is nearing completion within this decade, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a complete set of body mounts? My dad bought a box of 50 or so universal pucks, but I'd like to get a set that fit our cars exclusivly. any suggestions? Lee

Joe, mileage isn't everything, and while it is a good thing, be watchful. my 78 has 326,000 miles, and while it has it has it's share of Wal- Mart rash and a few spots of rust, it runs very well. however, when I got Dad's 79, with only 74,000, we drove it for a week and all the seals let...

jim, our 77-79 fords run the "standard" Ford 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern, which is common to not only cars that are in our series, but also many other fords, such as 60's vheicles, later vheicles (like a 85 Lincoln or a 92 crown vic) and also rangers and explorers (I saw a poorly maintained bird...

Charles, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I went on ADDCO's website, and while they list swaybars for our birds, they only list a factory size! I sent them an e-mail asking if they have anything larger, but, as of right now, the search is still on. Lee

hello everyone, In my current quest of rebuilding my chassis to out corner a corvette, I am looking for big fat swaybars, both front and rear. unfortunately, I can't find anything that's bigger than my stock 1 1/8" front and 7/8" rear swaybars. does anyone know where I can find bigger...

hey Po, flanges are usually made with an exhaust machine. some parts stores have some hand flange tools, and while they do the job, they aren't quite as professional as a pro job. as for cats, mine were missing before I got the car :wink . Lee

hello everyone! I noticed the forum hasn't been moving too much, and I also have had this question I've been wanting to ask. I was wondering what wheels and tires people had on their t-birds. maybe it's just because I look at people's wheels and tires for a living, I'm not sure, but here's...

do you have any decent doors? either side? Lee

Hello, I have a 1990 thunderbird LX for sale. Baby blue with blue interior, 3.8 auto. i have put on all new brakes, including rotors, calipers, and some of the hard lines. also, i've put on 4 new ball joints, new tie rod ends, new strut rod bushings, and a bunch of other stuff. 138,000...

hello, looking for a tranny for a 1992 crown victoria. bought one for cheap with a bad tranny. if anyone has one for sale, email me at [email protected]. Lee

hey everyone, does anyone have 2 of these caps that are NOT in nos shape? as long as they fit and look kinda decent, I'm looking for two. Lee

hello, my t-bird isn't satisfied and is craving more parts, mostly an ABS sensor for the passenger front wheel and an AOD tranny for a 3.8. I'm still trying to find rockers as well. thanks, Lee

well jim, all I can say is best of luck. it is impossible to find 4 matching wheels, i've been looking since i was 14 and i'm 21 now. I found one set for my pickup, but never a set for any of my cars. Your best bet is to go to swap meets and look for pairs, get one pair for the fronts and...

hello, my tranny is slipping in overdrive. anyone got a decent one for a good price? I'm also looking for a passenger front ABS sensor. thanks, Lee

I have decided to keep the 3.8 in my 90 t-bird ... for a little longer. I bought a set of supercoupe heads for a song, nothing wrong with em, the guy just had a LOT of supercoupe engines from the intake down. i heard that you can swap these on a standard 3.8 and pick up about 20 horse ... is...

tim, are these valve covers the polished aluminum ones that have an oval and ford motorsports on top? or are they finned? how much are you looking? lee

I'm into "spirited" driving. on ramps are an invitiation to me, I wish highway 20 was the autobahn, and I am trying to build my car into a big, fat brown '66 AC Cobra (that's funny, my car as an AC cobra). Anyway, I like to slow down a bit too quick and have a tendency to eat up rotors on the...

Tim, glad to hear you're chillin' on a hot Florida day. I was wondering about your 134 conversion, I am planning on converting as well when I put the 474 in my car, with the exception of using a newer AC pump off a 96 f-250 (smaller, lighter, and can use the serpintine belt I want to use.)...

does anyone know FOR SURE if a 1972 gran torino will fit on our birds? any info ASAP is greatly appriciated. Lee
