General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / So whats going on around here!!??
Hey everyone!

Long time no chat..... I just decided to see what was up around here.  I sold my t-bird a couple years ago..... and I still miss it dearly.  Especially because my fun car is now a 4th gen Camaro... LOL

Anyways, just browsing around again, being nostalgic.

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe For Sale
Ive never actually had the head off, so i can't say for sure.  99.9% of the factory heads on these cars are cracked around the exhaust seat.  Sometimes its not the crack that leaks, its just needing a compound and its good, sometimes they need seats installed.  I know that having seats installed is pretty  cheap for these heads.  I doubt that there is a problem with the valves themselves.  They honestly sealed enough to instal Boport springs with putting compressed air in the cylinders, so its not leaking a ton.    It hasn't been driven regularly in almost 2 years now, but it still starts and drives fine.  Its probably going to need a tuneup, minus the TFI and Dist which were new and have very little mileage on them.  The idle was a bit unsteady last time I started it, but that may just be the cold combined with not really being driven a lot.    If i get my asking price (now 2500 firm)  I'll include a T/3-T/4 Hybrid turbo thats in great shape, 6 Snowflake whees, and any other parts i have laying around that I can find.

Its still sitting here.  I'm looking for a 92-96 Fullsize bronco without a lot of issues as a possible trade.  Literally, I have had 1 serious inquiry..... if you want to call it that.  Kids dad came by and told me he'd offer me 1500.... after not even really looking at it.  :(  No way in hell.

Thanks Thunder Cat, I appreciate it.
