Just buy it. I have done that before. Trust me it would be cool.

Call Hedman, I believe that they can make some specifically for your Bird

Same old situation I found that my torque convertor was not in properly and was binding. The problem still persists though. hot battery cables. I am getting the starter checked tomorrow getting new cables, and checking the battery also. Thanks in advance Chris Diedrick

A board on the Thunderbird registry. T-Bird forum. Most of the guys that were on here went there. I'd like to keep this one active though since I am sure that people run across this one and have no clue about other ones.

I just put my engine back in my bird, and when I go to start it, it turns really slow. My hood is not on yet, and I do notice the negative battery cable jumping when I engage the starter. Naturally I was curious, so I touched the cable and the cable was incredibly hot. Both cables actually...

Everyone including myself went to a different message board on the T Bird registry when this one wanted to charge. I come back because it was a really great board./ I am not giving up though. We can make it big, just promote it to other fellow T-Birders, the other board I am on is not as...

No idea really except for power steering. That is only a process of elimination guess though. Chris Diedrick

Not sure if this will grow again or not. I am giving it another whirl though. It really died when it became a pay site. Spread the word I guess. I know many guys went to a forum on the T-Bird registry which I also belong to. Not much has changed, but I am pulling the engine on ym 79...

Those are some neat pics. Cool that you found those. I find that car interesting, but I do have to say, if they would have made that one instead, I probably would not own mine. A little too flashy, and Lincoln resembling for me. Who knows though, obviously Ford made a good decision on those...

Once again, I am more of a 351M kind of guy, just because I can be. One thing a 302 or 351W really has in their favor, would be aftermarket support. Tons of available stuff out there. A great choice of parts to choose form for either engine. Kick ass looking car also. I am looking for 2 of...

Dude, The headlight doors are a really cool feature of these cars. Also the biggest pain you could ever imagine. Mine used to work great, then after I rebuilt my engine, they started acting up, and got worse. First they would leak, then close partially while I was driving with my headlights...

I am interested in info also. Just doesn't seem to be much out there. What can I say, I like to know it all. ;)

Thanks guys, in a month or so I willl have the car at my house, and I will look her over a bit. Hindsight,I almost remember a slight backfire also, so I should double check the timing, but I also think its more fuel related, she was wrapped up, and a filter might not be abad thing to replace. Chris

Last Sunday was a nice day, so I took my 79 out for the first time this past year, its is still sitting at mom and dad's, so I can't really do anything to her now. I took her out, and couldn't resist beating on her a bit, slammed it into first at 40, and went into second at about 55, I was...

351m Lee, Well, the 351M is still sitting in the garage, but hopefully it will move soon since it looks like I am moving into an acreage hopefully next weekend. Then I can proceed to wrench on stuff. Preferably the T-Bird, I still say that the 351M is a good engine, and you only encouraged...

hey guys, I just received a book titled "HIGH PERFORMANCE FORD PARTS INTERCHANGE." I won it off e-bay. Maybe old news to some, but I found it interesting. Lots of useful info here. Covers 221-460. Ford engines are actually quite interchangable, which is good. The book of course talks about...

Oil Pan Lee, Well, atleast you caught that. I really don't know if the pan will come out or not. That did bring back a memory though of when I first lost oil pressure in my 351M. Atleast you caught it though. It could have really sucked. Good luck. Oh yeah, that engine and tranny is making...

Gearworks Nice prostreet Bird. I wish mine was like that, but I am sticking with the sleeper look. At a stoplight, yours just screams, I am pissed, what are you going to do? I bet the imports really avoid it, actually, I bet most cars avoid it. Keep it up. Chris Diedrick...

77 new member If I were you, I would keep it. I have put in well, I don't know, maybe 7 times what I paid for mine, (it was only $900), but still that roughly $7000 that I have put into my car. Well, its not enough. I love the car, and I want to keep it not matter what it costs me. I still...

Charles, and Lee, I see you are in need of a front bumper. Well, I do have one that I am willing to part with. It does need help, but I am willing to sell it. No dents atleast. I am located in Iowa, parts are in Humboldt. I hope to attend the swap meet at Hawkeye Downs this weekend, but I...
