Lounge / Maybe a new thunderbird?
Hey everybody recently I ran across a thunderbird for sale and has been for sale for almost a year now. The body is really clean with no dents at all. It would need a paint job but there is virtually no rust on this car. The engine is  3.8 and if you know me well enough I will be swapping in a v8 if it runs or not. The guy is asking 1000$ i think its a little steep but tell me what you all think.

Electrical Tech / Simple car wiring.
I have a 97 ranger that I am making into a drag truck and i was just wondering if anyone had a diagram or some information about wiring a drag car. The engine is going to have a carb. The only thing that im going to need to hook up is the starter, lights( front,rear,turn signals) inline fuel pump, and gauges (temp,vacuum,oil psi, mph, tach, volts, and fuel). If anyone has any information at all please tell me. All the original wiring is currently in the car if that helps any.

Engine Tech / Cam question
My 74 302 block is gettin ready to go to the machine shop and be bored 30 over to 306 and im going to be ordering all of the parts for it soon and I was wondering what a good rough sounding cam would be. It isnt a roller block so it will be a flat tappet cam. I want a real nice choppy cam. And another question is that i have a 88 Thunderbird with a 5.0 SO in it and would a ford racing e303 cam be able to clear the pistons

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / what ford intended? what kind of cars do we have?
Hey guys I was kind of wondering about wjat ford intended our birds and cats to be. I think ford classified these cars as luxury but I honestly do not think that these cars are primarily luxury. They have the fox body platform and are extremely upgradable and ford also attempted to make a sporty version (turbo coupe) which I think should have been a gt version of this car with atleast an H.O engine. I think the fox thunderbirds are more of muscle than anything else. They have the old taillights which represent how muscle cars are and they are beefy looking. But anyways I would like to know what you would classify these thunderbirds as if you made the desicion and what would you change about how ford made them?
