Engine Tech / beasting up a 3.8!
so i have a 1986 3.8L CFI V6 Thunderbird. now i know alot of people think its a stinky turd and not work squat but i like the little motor good on gas and hasn't let me down yet. so what i wanted to know is what can i do to her to get a few more horses like headers or something idk. i believe sarjxxx had a thread a few months ago about headers off a 94-95 v6 pony would fit but he has a newer motor so im not sure if it will work with mine

what i was thinking is doing a 5 lug swap off a 95 pony and swaping out the entire rear end with better gears then getting maybe some headers and a dual exhaust what else can i do? thanks :)

Engine Swapping / 95 5.0 into a fox bird
found some guy on craigslist with a 95 mustang 5.0 complete just has front end damage so he's selling for cheap. i wanted to do a 5 lug swap so i can pull all the parts off this but i was wondering if i can swap that motor into my 86 tbird or is it a different beast?

Suspension/Steering / 4 to 5 lug swap
ok so first off hi my names Brian i'm new to this site and have a 86 Thunderbird with a 3.8 v6. what i would like to do is swap from 4 lug to 5 lug and was wondering what i'd need to do and whats the least expensive or best way to go, i say least expensive because i am a collage student and don't have lots of funds laying around haha so i wouldn't mind going to the junk and piecing it together or saving up for maybe a kit any info would help me out thanks :D
