[mrdjcobra704]

[jnielsen00]

Just Awesome is what I have to say. I defintely have the same plans for my car to drop a crate engine but what size is the debate im having with myself right now lol. and awesome hood i already have it being delivered as well ill share some photos when my project is done...

[smitty3707]

been wanting to do some shit to my 95 tbrd 3.8. next time the engine goes out i want to turn it into my project vehicle and get a crate motor for it. friends say im dumb to switch from fuel injected to carb but i say its a great idea. just look at yours!!!!

[kspeer9]

Why do Birds look so sexy white?

[NWpowerhouse85]

This car is awesome, plain and simple.

[thatoneguy67204]

what crate motor did you put in it? 302?? 351?? Bigger??

[stevegratiot]

Thanks for all the comments....but we are not done with the car,we still have alot of suspension work and engine performance work to do...hopefully we'll have a new vid up soon...

[odin5150]

DUDE I HAVE A 91 T-BIRD came with that shitty 3.8 right CAN I DROP a crate engine in that as well?

[adamlesh]

@odin5150 All 1989-1997 Thunderbirds are the exact same with minor, cosmetic differences. The cheapest upgrade (which is what I'm doing) is changing the 3.8 for a 4.6; they use the same transmission so all you have to change is the radiator and wiring. Or, you could try and find a supercharger and just put that on with an intercooler. Although I have to say, this guy's Thunderbird is BAD-fuckin'-ASS.

[urdadddy1]

k thats a gorgous car !! BUT all that space in the wheel wells looks really gay NO OFFENCE, so either drop it a couple inches or get a little higher profile tire, but gorgous car man

[carbon310]

is your t-bird manual, and if it is did you got it like that or you got it moded

[SVTerminator03]

thats an auto... and to my knowledge none of these year birds were manuals except for the s/c's.

[plamore]

all the diamondplate trim is kick ass

[lucasbubu]

where did you get that hood? and how much

[H0M3RC1D4L]

The diameter on those wheels is too small for the wheel wells...

[KMScarboy]

did you have to do anything to the drive train like a trans or rearend???

[tagratiot]

Put in C4 trans, 8.8 rearend, and had custom driveshaft made.

[KMScarboy]

is the rear suspension still independent???

[vans1107]

@tagratiot are you talking 8.8 rear as in solid axle? or the original 8.8 IRS? and if you did do the swap how tough was it?

[m0dthunder]

it works, old school all the way!!!!!!!!!!

[m0dthunder]

thats the same idea i had for my 94 lx bird an every one told me it was to much work well heres m proof!!!!!!

[KevinLSV8]

thats a sick ride

[foscy12]

what kinda of exhaust do u have on that bad boy?...

[bigtrilla817]

damm...that car...very beast-like

[fossman82]

that is the best idea for that car. how mutch did it cost to convert? and is that a big block 460ci?

[KMScarboy]

it sounds like a small block for sure most likely a 302 but I can't be sure...

[salazar14488]

alright but where do u live at wat state

[salazar14488]

nice car how much were the rims wats the brand? ...........yo only thing wrong is the cars to high

[sincerelytatty]

Foose rims...Serious Business Motorsports leave me a message and i could get a deal 4 you on those....

[TeddyTracks]

Very nice, Lots of work put into it. Whats the crate motor? 289 302? I've wanted to make my bird a Ford Thunderbird BOSS 429 for the longest time but to drop that much weight in the front end i would have to re-inforce the front end alot. but what you have there is beautiful. Nice work!

[blythewoodbengals]

where did you find your hood from...is it a funtioning hood?

[SniperInTheShadowz]

yeah definitly need bigger wheels on it

[savagexhaley14]

the wheels dont fill up enough of the fender. theres too much of a gap

[rickbauls]

your gauge cluster kicks fucking ass.

[IMonroyXR7]

= SWEET = as hell. Great job man.

[birdcallent]

i love my bird

[PureSPLprix]

Man thats bad as hell, I want 1990 5spd with a 383 stroker in it, I love these cars. A good clean one is rare to come by, a fast one even more so

[saleen2813]

sounds sweet man love thunderbirds

[mitor69]

how hard was the engine swap? I was thinking about putting a supercharged 5.0L in my '95. i have the same hood. LOL

[TSHRTL]

thats a bad ass hood. i wish my 97 looked as nice as that and wouldnt mind having that engine as well

[Renpolo]

what size crate is that?

[zo0yoRk69]

god thats crazy. got any suggestions for my 3.8 bird? i want it to get up and go alittle better but not spend too much money on it.

[tagratiot]

Add turbo to it, which is basically the upper half, intake, etc.... Which is basically what the Super Coupes and XR7 Cougars have.

[zo0yoRk69]

yeah im buying a chip from this guy that specializes in custom american cars down the street and thats going to cost me about $300. but he said ill get 20hp and torque outa it. i was looking at the turbos and superchargers but for not too much more i could get the 4.6 in it.

[1989FtB]

hey, what do you mean by the turbo? would it fit an 1989 3.8L? lol i would like mine to have a little bit better get up n go

[automaticAEV]

fuck you give me your car.

[automaticAEV]

im not kidding.

[chinkashh]

I want one!

[zo0yoRk69]

damn thats nice. no dual exhaust? was that originally the 3.8L before you dropped the crate motor in it?

[tagratiot]

Yeah, it was originally a 3.8. It has dual exhaust...they dump just before the back wheels.

[zo0yoRk69]

i got the 97 3.8. i was thinkin about dropping the 4.6L in it but i decided that might be more money than im willing to spend (i bought mine for about 4k). so im saving for the 02 GT stang.

how much money you got in yours?

[TheDescendant620]

Bad fucking ass!

[nokia89]

that bird is fukin bad man i love do that to mines wht you runnin

[alphaj9]

Badass ride bro, can't believe you dropped that motor in there. Just curious, where can you purchase a new ford crate motor from?

[tagratiot]

Summit Racing or Jegs....
