94 thunderbird supercoupe

1994 Thunderbird SC 5.0 Cobra project car.

We picked up this car last year and it had a blown 3.8 supercharged 6 cylinder engine. We decided a nice 5.0 should take up residence in between the shock towers and built a 5.0 with fresh GT 40 iron heads, e303 camshaft installed 2 degree's advanced with a frpp multi index timing chain. Up top we used a 95 Cobra intake and a 65mm throttle body to handle the induction chores. Engine managment is controlled by a WH4O pcm from a 95 Mustang GT. The engine harness is a 93 mn 12 and the body harness is 94 sc. We had to repin the engine harness to handle the 4R70W electronic transmission. To use this 2000 4r70w tranny we changed over the transmission harness and solenoids to the early style to work with the mustang pcm. The torque converter is a 9.5" 3000 rpm stall lock up converter from ATS and the trans also has the infamous J-MOD done to the seperator plate for lightning fast shifts and added transmission life. The rear carrier has been rebuilt with 3.73 gears and traction lock. Watch for this car at shows and at Castrol Raceway near Edmonton AB.

Hey this is prettty cool. I have a '94 myself but definitely don't have the resources for a full swap so I have to stick with the tired 4.6. Wish I could see a full picture of under your car with the new exhaust b/c I plan on doing a custom exhaust myself using Magnaflow round mufflers in the center and using Mustang LX tailpipe tips out back to get that classic tailpipe view from the sides.

IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT. I would have used the 3.8 SC MOTOR BUT TO EACH IT OWN.

The engine is out of it right now as the car is getting body work and paint. I am painting it Mazda 3 celestial blue. When the engine goes back in it will also be going in with a 1994 SC 5 speed and a B&M ripper shifter with a centerforce clutch and flwheels for a 1994 F-150 5.0 5 speed. I am also installing a Roush 5.0 efi intake with #24 injectors and a 1994 cobra J4J1 pcm. I will post some vids of it while the car is being put back together.
