picked up a decent 1984 5.0L Thunderbird Reply #22 – August 31, 2016, 01:30:13 PM Got some work done this weekend. Pulled the engine out.Got the heads torqued, rockers adjusted, valve covers modified to clear. Intake on. Cut open the timing cover for a mechanical fuel pump. Bolted on the headers.And dropped it in and bolted up the torque convertor and bell housing. Can't wait to drive this thing again. Quote Selected

picked up a decent 1984 5.0L Thunderbird Reply #25 – September 01, 2016, 05:58:34 AM Just the stock torque converter. Planning to go manual soon anyways. Ordering a new water pump today and a Lokar kick down cable. Quote Selected
picked up a decent 1984 5.0L Thunderbird Reply #26 – September 05, 2016, 03:55:00 AM Got it running last night. Rockers are tapping g on the valve covers though so had to shut it down instantly. EDIT. that wasn't the sound. Turns out it was my mechanical fuel pump making the sound. Removed it and made a block off plate. Going electric pump Quote Selected
