Good god what a beast! I'd love to see this in motion.. I really never considered myself a thunderbird fan but the car looks brand new and sounds like 100 demons are pounding to get out of that engine compartment!
Big Headers into 3" pipes, flowmaster mufflers with down facing exhaust tips that dump right before the axle. Not enough room for duals between the axle, fuel filler tube and the fuel tank.
The Flowmasters are what really make that kick ass sound.
I really should ge the frames tied at some point in the near future so the body doesn't twist. The rear end and rear suspession might need some attention at some point but I'm worrying about that stuff as parts break. Otherwise I haven't done anything too it.
Nice car. I was thinking of putting a 460 in my 86 but was sort of scared away with how big the project seemed. Do you have any tips or advice based on problems you ran into or was it pretty straightforward?
Yes, that is a warmed over 460 in the car with a C6 transmission. I'm guessing it's about 400 hp. Never did get a chance to drag it, I'm still working some bugs out of it.
Should have do a huge burnout hehe !!

I DIDN'T SEE A 460?THE 2.3 RAN OK,BUT NOT THE MOST RELIBLE ENGINE,MAYBE THE EFI ONES WERE GOOD,BUT THE 70'S VERSIONS SUCKED,BOTH 2.0 and 2.3.
