@1984SVOstang dude your info is wrong, 96 97 birds ran avg 15.7 now on the other hand 94 95 were 16.2. i own a 4.6....just sayin put $2000 in a s/c and it might easy do better than 14.6

[1984SVOstang]

@jlcohns We still have the time slips from when it was new.. It ran high 16's all stock.. Not sure where you got the $2k from, as the head swap cost us just over $1000.. Again, just doing a head swap on a S/C will not get you a second quicker.. Where you get it that the 94-95's being slower?? The have the exact drivetrain.. Even the remaned long blocks from ford use the same pt#..

i love thunderbirds very much,but these are a HUGE disappointment.U spent 5,000 in mods and only droped a second off your quarter 15.6-15.2 to 14.6 is shameful!! put 5000 in a soupacoupe in youll be in the 12's. please let me know when you see a 4.6 bird break into the13's....im still waiting.very sad...

@jlcohns all stock this car ran very high 16's@mid 80's mph.. That price included a full trans build by a professional trans builder!! That cost is about $2000 alone..  I want to see a S/C drop a full second with just a head swap!! Not going to happen!!

@horsevet20 @horsevet20 I'm not talking about that mark8 or mustang motor you put in your 4.6 bird. Stock block vs stock block. Sc is s#!+ing on the 4.6. Visit sccoa average sc bird runs high 11s best time 10.16. tccoa 4.6 supercharged average 12.4 best 10.7(with explorer motor) cheater. I own a 4.6 because I hate the bumble bee sound also, but if was serious about racing it would be the 3.8sc. One of best motors ever made for power,not so reliable.

@jlcohns haha what a retard, my MHS stage 2 heads and cam t bird runs 12.3's all day long, its also got a jmod, 4.30 gears, spent 600 bucks for car 2800 on top end, and 1000 bucks for a used transmission and getting a jmod done, 300 in rear right around 4900 with wheels and drag radials, i also rape sc on the street all day.4.6 tbirds are IMO a better choice for mods you can only get so much from a v6, and never get away from that shitty bumble bee sound.

Now put some 26's on it!!

just kidding man. Thanks for the video.. Ive been trying to decide on buying one of these or a 3rd generation firebird as a running project, I appreciate the big list of potential mods for this car.

[jlcohns]

im just saying $2000 in sc will leave your $5000 modded 4.6l. 96 97 are quiker you need to do some research, not the same 9495 have 3.08 9697 have 3.27 + larger intake. for racing buy you a sc or you would catch hell trying to gett into the 13's with 4.6l
