Title: Lee's 1988 Thunderbird Project "Heavy Metal"
Post by: 88tbirdproject on September 07, 2019, 03:15:57 PM
The car pretty much as delivered, I bought it off a friend who planned to use it through the winter but he wasted the transmission and abandoned it, so I picked it up on the cheap.

The previous owner before him had swapped out the stock 3.8 engine for a 5.0

Really like the color!!! What’s the plan on the 460? Will you use a reverse manual valve body on the C6?
