picked up a decent 1984 5.0L Thunderbird

meet my new project. 

it is currently powered by a stock 302 with 79,000kms (47,000 miles).  I have added a set of headers and off road h pipe and 2.5" flowmasters.  I have also done the Mustang 11" front brake upgrade with a crown vic master cylinder and Lincoln 73mm calipers. also put new struts in the front.  picked up a 1994 351W that I am currently collecting parts to drop it in with a carb.





Here is the 351 and parts I have for it so far

Looks like a solid car.  351w power...can't go wrong there.  Can you do a 351w with the stock hood?

Not worried about the stock hood closing ;)  6-71's  don't fit under any hood anyways.

Lots of potential there. Nice score!

Nice ride, I have 351w in my tbird also, I have that same rear wing, but I have been on the fence about installing it.

Scored this fiberglass hood so the 6-71 idea is on a stand still for now

Somehow you keep finding Fox bodies in the great white north. You must have bought and sold everyone in Ontario ;)

Lol.  I slowed down quite a bit for a few years.  Got into Mustangs again.  But am back out of those.  Now I am back into playing with them again.

Gotta do a bit of tpuppies and elongate the bolt holes in the hinges to adjust it properly yet. But at least I have it now lol.  Hope it clears my 351 carb set up.

Won't clear a 6-71 but should clear the carb setup fine.
