    '78 for sale

    Hey guys, I see a few for sale messages on your page, so I'll try my luck too. My fleet of birds needs to be replaced with one that's a little more college student friendly, so I've got a '78 base model T-bird for sale. It's got 97k on a 302 "C" (if anyone has any info on this motor, that...

    Sport for sale

    Hey guys, I know how much everyone hates "for sale" messages, but I see a lot of interest in 5.0's and mine needs to go. It's an '88 sport, 5.0 runs great with 145k, lsd, bad aod tranny, rough body. Interior on the sports is the same as turbo coupes and it's in pretty good shape. Good donor...

    Chilton's manuals are always good. You can pick them up at your local auto parts store.

    Turbo to 289 engine swap

    Hey 232, thanks for all your help, but just to complicate things a little for you, the T-5 came out of a 2.3 turbo Mustang. Is that going to be the same grade as the T-bird tranny, or the 5.0 grade T-5? Also (I have no idea about flywheels and such), the 289 came with a locked up C-4 tranny...

    Turbo to 289 engine swap

    Isn't the T-5 the same tranny they use in the Mustangs? If it can handle the torque of a HO 302, it should certainly be able to handle a 289, not?

    Turbo to 289 engine swap

    Hey guys, Alright, my brother is tired of working on his 2.3 turbo in his '86 coupe, and he found a 289 V-8 out of '67 Galaxy that's supposed to run good. Does anybody know if this engine will bolt onto his T-5? Are there any other problems that we're gonna need to look out for? Thanks

    New Seats!

    Yeah, so tell me more about this fabric dye. I have some pretty bad fading on my seats (Sports and TC's have the same seats) that I would love to get rid of. Yours look pretty good in the pictures. Thanks!

    I need rear-end info! Help!

    Hey again, Yeah, so that clunking was getting worse and I decided to play around with my dangling, useless exhaust system and it turns out that that was the problem. Guess it's finally time to break out the checkbook and go for a set of H-pipes. :D Thanks anyways.

    I need rear-end info! Help!

    Hey guys, I'm getting a nasty whine from my rear-end when I'm driving and I've just recently started to hear some bad clunking that I don't think I can blame on my tailpipe that's broken right at the Y-splitter anymore when I corner and the car's still cool. Do I just need to add some rear-end...

    Headers and exhaust update

    Okay, nobody is answering me, but I'm thinking I'll go ahead and talk to my local muffler shop and see if they'll fab up a custom dual exhaust system with glasspacks for me, but I'm still unsure about headers. I read that '86-'95 5.0L Mustangs came stock with headers. Should I try to find a...

    Headers and exhaust update

    I'm looking for a cheap and effective way to boost my horsepower. Are headers and dual exhaust the way to go? If so, what do you guys recommend? Thanks

    What Should I do To My 85 Thunderbird?

    I would probably do header and exhaust. And I hear that NOS is fun :D
