New Project Ideas

CrazyInBlack · 02-25-2007, 07:51 PM

looking for a cheap (really cheap) project. thinking of something 5.0 powered, maybe a TBird or Mark VII. How hard is a T-5 swap into one of these? really just looking for something to rag on, maybe spray

any ideas or comments?

you should be able to find a thunderbird very reasonable

Personally, I would do the tbird over the mark vii. With the mark 7 you would have to change over the whole suspension, or deal with the air suspension which is a pita and can be expensive to fix.

I owned a Mark VII and had not even though about that Joker, you can tell how well I have thought this out. I do like the last gen TBirds, anyone know the years they had a 5.0?

what are u looking to spend.I know where a nice 97 tbird is but it has 4.6 in it

DIRT Cheap! Really looking for a 5.0 due to the ease of finding parts and such. how much is it?

I think the tbirds switched to the 4.6 v8 in 94, so anything older than that should have a 5.0 if it is a v8 car.

Mercury Capri? I think they are usually cheaper than Fox bodies and are basically the same car.
